NGC 150 (also known as PGC 2052) is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It is about 70 million light years away from the Solar System, and it has a diameter of about 55,000 light years. [4] It was discovered on 20 November 1886, by Lewis A. Swift. [5] The Type II supernova SN 1990K was detected in NGC 150, and was reported to be similar to SN 1987A. [6]
NGC 5613 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Boötes. It is part of the Arp 178 set of interacting galaxies, with NGC 5615 and NGC 5614.
NGC 5490 is a radio galaxy in the constellation Boötes.
NGC 352 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 20, 1784 by William Herschel. It was described as "pretty faint, small, irregularly extended" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue; he also noted an "8th magnitude star 97 seconds of time to east" relative to the galaxy.
IC 755, also known as NGC 4019, is a barred spiral galaxy. It lies about 60 million light-years away in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It is a member of the Virgo Cluster.
NGC 6850 is a barred lenticular galaxy in the constellation Telescopium, discovered by John Herschel in 1836.
NGC 157 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cetus. The compiler of the New General Catalogue, John Louis Emil Dreyer noted that NGC 157 was "pretty bright, large, extended, between 2 considerably bright stars". It was discovered on December 13, 1783 by William Herschel.
NGC 124 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered by Truman Henry Safford on September 23, 1867. The galaxy was described as "very faint, large, diffuse, 2 faint stars to northwest" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue.

NGC 7250 is an irregular galaxy located in the Lacerta constellation. It is a blue-colored galaxy with bright bursts of star formation: its star-forming rate is more than an order of magnitude greater than that of the Milky Way.
NGC 3697 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Leo. It was discovered on 24 February 1827 by John Herschel. It was described as "extremely faint, very small, extended 90°" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue. It is a member of HCG 53, a compact group of galaxies.

NGC 550 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is estimated to be about 300 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 110,000 light years. The German-British astronomer William Herschel discovered it on 8 October 1785.
NGC 813 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Hydrus. It is estimated to be 390 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 140,000 ly. NGC 813 was discovered on November 24, 1834 by the British astronomer John Herschel.
NGC 996 is an elliptical galaxy of the Hubble type E0 in the constellation Andromeda. It is estimated to be 210 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 75,000 ly. The supernova SN 1996bq occurred in this galaxy. NGC 996 was discovered on December 7, 1871 by astronomer Édouard Stephan.
NGC 941 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum. It is an estimated 55 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 55,000 light years. The galaxies NGC 926, NGC 934, NGC 936, NGC 955 are located in the same sky area. NGC 941 was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel using on 6 January 1785.
NGC 706 is a spiral galaxy located in the Pisces constellation about 230 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the German–British astronomer William Herschel in 1786.
