Correct identification of this object
[edit]The correct identification of some NGC objects is difficult due to errors and misunderstandings of the original observer and of the astronomers that, during time, made and re-analysed the data.
Use the information of different sources, NGC 5175 has different identifications. Following the prescription of NGC/IC project NGC 5175 is a star superimposed to the galaxy NGC 5162/NGC 5174 and not the galaxy itself! For other informations see also these two discussions.

| NGC/IC project in VizieR (Q1662358) | star | [1] | right identification |
| NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (Q488563) | star | [2] | right identification |
| Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (Q6709611) | PGC 47346 = NGC 5174 | [3] | wrong identification! |
| SIMBAD (Q654724) | PGC 47346 = NGC 5162 = NGC 5174 | [4] | wrong identification! |
