NGC 1560 also known as IC 2062 is an 11th-magnitude spiral galaxy in the IC 342/Maffei Group. It was discovered by Wilhelm Tempel on August 1 1883.Its distance is unknown because it is too near for the Universal expansion to affect its motion relative to Earth. It has a negative radial velocity of -35 km/second. However based on its redshift-independent distance estimates it may range from 5 to 15 million light years.
