NGC 238 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on October 2, 1834 by John Herschel. [2]
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 128 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is approximately 190 million light-years from the Sun and has a diameter of about 165,000 light-years.
NGC 6400 is an open cluster located in the constellation Scorpius. It is designated as II2m in the galaxy morphological classification scheme and was discovered by the Scottish astronomer James Dunlop on 13 May 1826. It is at a distance of 3,097 light years away from Earth.
NGC 137 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Pisces. It was discovered by William Herschel on November 23, 1785.
NGC 142 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cetus. It was discovered by Frank Muller in 1886.
NGC 6412 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. It is designated as SBc in the galaxy morphological classification scheme and was discovered by the British astronomer William Herschel on 12 December 1797. NGC 6412 is located at about 76.6Mly away from Earth.
NGC 183 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on November 5, 1866 by Truman Safford.
NGC 229 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 10, 1879 by Édouard Stephan.
NGC 274 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is a pair of galaxies, the other being NGC 275, which it is currently interacting with. It was discovered on September 10, 1785 by William Herschel. It is roughly 120 million light-years away.
NGC 298 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864 by Albert Marth. NGC 298 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. Given its B magnitude of 14.7, NGC 298 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 20 inches or more.
NGC 304 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 23, 1878, by Édouard Stephan.
NGC 315 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on September 11, 1784 by William Herschel.
NGC 318 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on November 29, 1850 by Bindon Stoney.
NGC 327 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. Also known as "The Jamie Smith Star" (ISD0534203) and was discovered on September 27, 1864 by Albert Marth. It is described by Dreyer as "faint, small, extended." It is nearby galaxies NGC 329, NGC 325 and NGC 321.
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 375 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on September 12, 1784 by William Herschel. It was described by Dreyer as "pretty faint, small, round, brighter middle." Along with galaxies NGC 379, NGC 380, NGC 382, NGC 383, NGC 384, NGC 385, NGC 386, NGC 387 and NGC 388, NGC 375 forms a galaxy cluster called Arp 331.
NGC 493, also occasionally referred to as PGC 4979 or GC 281, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is located approximately 90 million light-years from Earth and was discovered on December 20, 1786 by astronomer William Herschel. It was later also observed by his son, John Herschel. John Dreyer, creator of the New General Catalogue, described the galaxy as "very faint, large, much extended 60°" with "a little brighter middle".
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.
