NGC 170 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on 3 November 1863 by Albert Marth. [2]
The Caldwell catalogue is an astronomical catalogue of 109 star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies for observation by amateur astronomers. The list was compiled by Patrick Moore as a complement to the Messier catalogue.
NGC 171 is a barred spiral galaxy with an apparent magnitude of 12, located around 3 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. The galaxy has two main medium-wound arms, with a few minor arms, and a fairly bright nucleus and bulge. It was discovered on 20 October 1784 by William Herschel. It is also known as NGC 175.
NGC 176 is an open cluster around 3.5 million light-years away in the constellation Tucana. It is located within the Small Magellanic Cloud. It was discovered on August 12, 1834, by John Herschel.
NGC 179 is a lenticular galaxy located 3.3 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Francis Preserved Leavenworth.
NGC 180 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on December 29, 1790 by William Herschel.
NGC 212 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 369 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on October 28, 1834 by John Herschel.
NGC 220 is an open cluster located approximately 210,000 light-years from the Sun in the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is located in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on August 12, 1834 by John Herschel.
NGC 222 is an open cluster located approximately 210,000 light-years from the Sun in the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is located in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on August 1, 1826 by James Dunlop.
NGC 276 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 626 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Frank Muller and was later also observed by DeLisle Stewart.
NGC 322 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 318 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on September 5, 1834 by John Herschel. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, very small, round, a little brighter middle, 3 stars to west." It apparently seems to be interacting with PGC 95427, another galaxy.
NGC 359 is an elliptical galaxy located approximately 238 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 2, 1864, by Albert Marth. It was described by Dreyer as "extremely faint, very small."
NGC 7303 is a barred spiral galaxy around 170 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pegasus. NGC 7303 was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on September 15, 1828.
NGC 596 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cetus. The galaxy lies 65 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 596 is approximately 60,000 light years across. The galaxy shows an outer envelope and is a merger remnant. The surface brightness profil is smooth and featureless. The galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole, whose mass is estimated to be 170 million (108.24) .
NGC 5114 is a lenticular galaxy located about 170 million light-years away in the constellation Centaurus. The galaxy was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on June 3, 1836.
NGC 4683 is a barred lenticular galaxy located about 170 million light-years away in the constellation Centaurus. It was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on June 8, 1834. NGC 4683 is a member of the Centaurus Cluster.
NGC 732 is a lenticular galaxy located 250 million light-years away in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on December 5, 1883 and is a member of Abell 262.
NGC 830 is a barred lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is estimated to be about 170 million light-years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of approximately 70,000 light years.
NGC 803 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Aries about 70 million light-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the German–British astronomer William Herschel in 1784.
