NGC 26 is a spiral galaxy in the Pegasus constellation. It was discovered on 14 September 1865 by Heinrich Louis d'Arrest. [2]
NGC 189 is an open cluster in the Cassiopeia constellation. It was discovered by Caroline Herschel on 27 September 1783, and independently rediscovered by John Herschel on 27 October 1829.
NGC 3626 is an unbarred lenticular galaxy and Caldwell object in the constellation Leo. It was discovered by William Herschel, on 14 March 1784. It shines at magnitude +10.6/+10.9. Its celestial coordinates are RA 11h 20.1m, dec +18° 21′. It is located near the naked-eye-class A4 star Zosma, as well as galaxies NGC 3608, NGC 3607, NGC 3659, NGC 3686, NGC 3684, NGC 3691, NGC 3681, and NGC 3655. Its dimensions are 2′.7 × 1′.9. The galaxy belongs to the NGC 3607 group some 70 million light-years distant, itself one of the many Leo II groups.
NGC 5821 is a spiral galaxy with a ring structure in the constellation Boötes. It lies near a similarly massed galaxy, NGC 5820, at the same redshift. Both galaxies were discovered by the astronomer William Herschel,
NGC 7 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the Sculptor constellation. It was discovered by English astronomer John Herschel in 1834, who was using an 18.7 inch reflector telescope at the time. Astronomer Steve Gottlieb described the galaxy as faint, albeit large, and edge-on from the perspective of the Milky Way; he also noted how the galaxy could only be observed clearly with peripheral vision, not by looking directly at it.
NGC 12 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the Pisces constellation. It was discovered by William Herschel on December 6, 1790.
NGC 13 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It is estimated to be about 220 million light-years away from the Sun. It was discovered on November 26, 1790 by William Herschel.
NGC 25 is a barred lenticular galaxy situated in the Phoenix constellation. It was discovered on 28 October 1834 by John Herschel. It is the brightest cluster galaxy for Abell cluster 2731. A supernova was discovered in NGC 25 on 15 November 2020.
NGC 28 is an elliptical galaxy located in the Phoenix constellation. It was discovered on 28 October 1834 by John Herschel.
NGC 31 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on October 28, 1834 by the astronomer John Herschel. Its morphological type is SB(rs)cd, meaning that it is a late-type barred spiral galaxy.
NGC 38 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered in 1881.
NGC 39 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered in 1790.
NGC 4777 is an intermediate spiral ring galaxy. It is estimated to be about 180 million light-years away from the Sun. It was discovered on March 3, 1786 by the astronomer William Herschel.
NGC 4780 is an intermediate spiral galaxy within the constellation Virgo. It is located about 166 million light-years away from the Sun. It was discovered in 1880 by the astronomer Wilhelm Tempel.
NGC 74 is a lenticular galaxy located in the Andromeda constellation. It was discovered on 7 October 1855 by Irish astronomer William Parsons.
NGC 115 is a barred spiral galaxy located in the southern constellation of Sculptor. It was discovered by the British astronomer, John Herschel, on September 25, 1834./ The galaxy is approximately 85 million light-years from the Sun, and is about 50,000 light-years in diameter, nearly half the size of our home galaxy, the Milky Way.
NGC 471 is a lenticular galaxy located about 168 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered by the German astronomer Albert Marth on November 3, 1864.
NGC 2865 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Hydra.
NGC 2300 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cepheus. It was discovered in 1871 by French astronomer Alphonse Borrelly using an 18 cm telescope.
NGC 7812 as is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor, though it might look like it is in Pisces if observed at the wrong angle. The galaxy was discovered on 25 September 1865 by Sir John Hershel. At its widest, it measures approximately 100-thousand light years across, and is 315 million light years away from Earth.
NGC 5619 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy was found on April 10, 1828 by the British astronomer John Herschel. It is located about 390 million light-years away from the Sun.
