NGC 197 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 16, 1863 by Albert Marth. [2]
NGC 7537 is a spiral galaxy located in the equatorial constellation of Pisces, about 1.5° to the NNW of Gamma Piscium. It was first documented by German-born astronomer William Herschel on Aug 30, 1785. J. L. E. Dreyer described it as, "very faint, considerably small, round, brighter middle, southwestern of 2". This galaxy lies at a distance of approximately 127 Mly (39 Mpc) from the Milky Way, and is a member of the Pegasus I cluster.
NGC 51 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It has a diameter of 90,000 light-years. The galaxy was discovered on September 7, 1885 by Lewis Swift, who described it as "Pretty faint, pretty small, round, brighter middle."
NGC 54 is an edge-on spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cetus. The galaxy was discovered by Wilhelm Tempel in 1886, and he defined it as "very faint, pretty small, round." The galaxy is 90,000 light years in diameter, making it slightly smaller than the Milky Way.
NGC 201 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cetus. It is one of the group members of HCG 7, with the other group members NGC 192, NGC 196, and NGC 197. It was discovered on December 28, 1790 by William 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 209 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 175 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 9, 1885 by Francis Leavenworth.
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 217 is a spiral or lenticular galaxy located approximately 178 light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on November 28, 1785 by William Herschel.
NGC 219 is a compact elliptical galaxy located approximately 245 million light-years from the Sun in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 16, 1863 by George Bond.
NGC 226 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 216 million light-years from the Sun in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on December 21, 1786 by William Herschel.
NGC 227 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 237 million light-years from the Sun in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 1, 1785 by William Herschel.
NGC 301 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 204 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Frank Muller.
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 366 is an open cluster located in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered on October 27, 1829 by John Herschel. It was described by Dreyer as a "cluster, small."
NGC 2681 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. The galaxy lies 50 million light years away from Earth, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 2681 is approximately 55,000 light years across. NGC 2681 has an active galactic nucleus and it is a type 3 Seyfert galaxy. Its nucleus is also a low-ionization nuclear emission-line region.
NGC 499, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5060, IC 1686 or GC 289, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is located approximately 197 million light-years from the Solar System and was discovered on 12 September, 1784 by astronomer William Herschel.
NGC 1714 is an emission nebula in the constellation of Dorado. It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and was discovered by John Herschel on 2 November 1834. A study investigating the chemical composition of HII regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud was conducted in it, finding a larger deuterium density than previously thought, leading to larger than accepted age of the universe. Candidates for planetary nebula have also been found in the vicinity of NGC 1714.
NGC 912 is a compact lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda about 197 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by French astronomer Édouard Stephan in 1878.
NGC 769 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Triangulum about 197 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the American astronomer Truman Safford in 1866.
