UGC 11105, also known as PGC 61361, is a relatively nearby spiral galaxy located 109 million light-years (33.4 Mpc) away in the Hercules constellation.[2][3] The galaxy is outshone by bright stars in the foreground.[3] From the perspective on Earth, the Sun is 14 thousand trillion times brighter as compared to UGC 1105, if we to calculate the apparent magnitude for both objects.[3] It is a possible active galactic nucleus candidate, according to SIMBAD.[1]

One supernova has been observed in UGC 11105: SN 2019pjs (type II, mag. 17.3).[4]
