NGC 261 is a diffuse nebula located in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on September 5, 1826, by James Dunlop. [3]
NGC 6217 is a barred spiral galaxy located some 67 million light years away, in the constellation Ursa Minor. It can be located with a 10 cm (4 in) or larger telescope as an 11th magnitude object about 2.5° east-northeast of the star Zeta Ursae Minoris. The galaxy is inclined by an angle of 33° to the line of sight along a position angle of 162°.
NGC 613 is a barred spiral galaxy located 67 million light years away in the southern constellation of Sculptor. This galaxy was discovered in 1798 by German-English astronomer William Herschel, then re-discovered and catalogued by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. It was first photographed in 1912, which revealed the spiral form of the nebula. During the twentieth century, radio telescope observations showed that a linear feature in the nucleus was a relatively strong source of radio emission.
NGC 168 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Frank Muller.
NGC 184 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 6, 1883, by Édouard Stephan.
NGC 259 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1786.
NGC 267 is an open cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is located in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on October 4, 1836, by John Herschel.
NGC 269 is an open cluster in the Small Magellanic Cloud. It is located in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on November 5, 1836 by John Herschel.
NGC 282 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on October 13, 1879 by Édouard Stephan.
NGC 287 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on November 22, 1827, by John Herschel.
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 324 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on October 23, 1835, by John Herschel. It was described by Dreyer as "questionable, faint, small, stellar".
NGC 333 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 755 million light years away in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1877 by Wilhelm Tempel. It is recorded as NGC 333 in the New General Catalogue. It has a companion galaxy, named PGC 3073571, which is presumed to be a physical pair with NGC 333.
NGC 334 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Sculptor. It was discovered on September 25, 1834 by John Herschel. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, small, round, gradually a little brighter middle, 2 stars of 11th magnitude to south."
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 387 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on December 10, 1873 by Lawrence Parsons. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, small, round." Along with galaxies NGC 375, NGC 379, NGC 382, NGC 383, NGC 384, NGC 385, NGC 386 and NGC 388, NGC 387 forms a galaxy cluster called Arp 331.
NGC 410 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 bright, pretty large, northeastern of 2.", the other being NGC 407.
NGC 476 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is located approximately 261 million light-years from Earth and was discovered on November 3, 1864 by German astronomer Albert Marth.
NGC 1381 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Fornax. It is located at a distance of about 60 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 1381 is about 55,000 light years across. It is a member of the Fornax Cluster. NGC 1381 appears edge-on and features a thin disk with high surface brightness and a boxy bulge. Both the box-shaped bulge and the kinematics of the central area of the galaxy suggest that NGC 1381 has a bar.
