NGC 1198 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation of Perseus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 1419 ± 14 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 20.92 ± 1.48 Mpc (∼68 million light-years). [1] It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan on 6 December 1880. This galaxy was also observed by the American astronomer Lewis Swift on 27 October 1888, and was later added to the Index Catalogue as IC 282. [2]

NGC 488 is a face-on spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 13 December 1784. It is at a distance of about 90 million light-years away from Earth. Its diameter is estimated to be 52,6 Kpc. The galaxy has a large central bulge, and is considered a prototype galaxy with multiple spiral arms. Its arms are tightly wound. Star forming activity has been traced within the arms. The nucleus of NGC 488 has been found to be chemically decoupled, being twice as metal rich as the central bulge of the galaxy. NGC 488, with the exception of its smaller companions, that form NGC 488 group, is an isolated galaxy.
