NGC 115 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It was discovered by the British astronomer John Herschel on September 25, 1834. [3] The galaxy is approximately 85 million light-years from the Sun, and is about 50,000 light-years in diameter, [3] nearly half the size of our home galaxy, the Milky Way.
NGC 31 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on October 28, 1834 by the astronomer John Herschel. Its morphological type is SB(rs)cd, meaning that it is a late-type barred spiral galaxy.
NGC 4780 is an intermediate spiral galaxy within the constellation Virgo. It is located about 166 million light-years away from the Sun. It was discovered in 1880 by the astronomer Wilhelm Tempel.
NGC 42 is a lenticular galaxy in the Pegasus constellation. It was discovered on October 30, 1864, by the German astronomer Albert Marth. It may be gravitationally interacting with the nearby NGC 41.
NGC 1728 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Eridanus. The galaxy is listed in the New General Catalogue. It was discovered on November 10, 1885 by the astronomer Edward Emerson Barnard.
NGC 467 is an unbarred lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on 8 October 1785 by William Herschel.
NGC 74 is a lenticular galaxy located in the Andromeda constellation. It was discovered on 7 October 1855 by Irish astronomer William Parsons.

NGC 7759 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Aquarius. It is located about 340 million light-years away from the Sun. It was discovered independently by American astronomers Lewis A. Swift and Francis Preserved Leavenworth.
NGC 125 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It is designated as subclass Sa Ring in the galaxy morphological classification scheme. It lies approximately 235 million light-years away.
NGC 5470 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located between 43 and 68 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by astronomer John Herschel in 1830. It is a member of the Virgo III Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out to the east of the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.
NGC 5559 is a barred spiral galaxy, located 240 million light-years away in the constellation of Boötes. It was discovered on April 10, 1785, by the astronomer William Herschel.

NGC 1326 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Fornax, 63 million light-years away. It was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel on 29 November 1837. It is a member of the Fornax Cluster, an NGC 1316 subgroup and has a diameter of 70 000 light-years.
NGC 7812 as is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. The galaxy was discovered on 25 September 1865 by Sir John Hershel. At its widest, it measures approximately 100-thousand light years across, and is 315 million light years away from Earth.
NGC 950 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is approximately 205 million light-years away from the Solar System and has a diameter of about 85,000 light-years. The object was discovered in 1886 by American astronomer and mathematician Ormond Stone.
NGC 990 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Aries about 153 million light-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the German - British astronomer William Herschel in 1786.
NGC 5619 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy was found on April 10, 1828, by the British astronomer John Herschel. It is located about 390 million light-years away from the Sun.
