NGC 55, is a Magellanic type barred spiral galaxy located about 6.5 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. Along with its neighbor NGC 300, it is one of the closest galaxies to the Local Group, probably lying between the Milky Way and the Sculptor Group. It has an estimated mass of (2.0 ± 0.4) × 1010M☉.
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 3550 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered on April 11, 1785, by William Herschel. It is one of the brightest galaxies of the Abell 1185 galaxy cluster.
NGC 5792 is a barred spiral galaxy about 70 million light-years away in the constellation Libra. There is a magnitude 9.6 star on the northwestern edge of the galaxy. It was discovered on April 11, 1787, by the astronomer William Herschel. It is a member of the Virgo III Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out to the east of the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.
NGC 1404 is an elliptical galaxy in the Southern constellation Eridanus. It was discovered on November 28, 1837, by the astronomer John Herschel. Based on the tip of the red-giant branch distance indicator, it lies at a distance of approximately 60 million light-years from the Milky Way. It is one of the brightest members of the Fornax Cluster.
NGC 1052 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on January 10, 1785 by the astronomer William Herschel. It is a member of the eponymous NGC 1052 Group.
NGC 3359 is a barred spiral galaxy located 59 million light-years from Earth, in the constellation of Ursa Major. It was discovered on November 28, 1793, by the astronomer William Herschel. The central bar is approximately 500 million years old.
NGC 151 is a mid-sized barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus.
NGC 2090 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 40 million light-years from the Solar System in the Columba constellation. It was discovered on 29 October 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. NGC 2090 was studied to refine the Hubble constant to an accuracy within ±10%.
NGC 4242 is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Canes Venatici. The galaxy is about 18 million light years away. It was discovered on 10 April 1788 by William Herschel, and it was described as "very faint, considerably large, irregular, round, very gradually brighter in the middle, resolvable" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue.
NGC 3309 is a giant elliptical galaxy located about 200 million light-years away in the constellation Hydra. NGC 3309 was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on March 24, 1835. The galaxy forms a pair with NGC 3311 which lies about 72,000 ly (22 kpc) away. Both galaxies dominate the center of the Hydra Cluster.
NGC 3319 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by William Herschel on Feb 3, 1788. It is rich in gas and lacks a galactic bulge.
NGC 1400 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Eridanus. At a distance of 65 million light-years from Earth, it was discovered by John Herschel in 1786. It is a member of the NGC 1407 group, whose brightest member is NGC 1407. The NGC 1407 group is part of the Eridanus Cluster, a cluster of 200 galaxies.
NGC 530, also known as IC 106, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is approximately 226 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of around 100,000 light years. The object was discovered on November 20, 1886, by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift, who listed it as NGC 530, and rediscovered on November 16, 1887, by Guillaume Bigourdan, who listed it as IC 106.
NGC 706 is a spiral galaxy located in the Pisces constellation about 230 million light years from the Milky Way. It was discovered by the German–British astronomer William Herschel in 1786.
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.
NGC 538 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Cetus. It is located about 250 million light-years from the Milky Way with a diameter of approximately 95,000 ly. NGC 538 was discovered by the American astronomer Lewis Swift in 1886.
NGC 4221 is a barred lenticular galaxy located about 75.9 million light-years away in the constellation of Draco. It was discovered on April 3, 1832, by the astronomer John Herschel. NGC 4221 is notable for having an outer ring that surrounds the inner barred central region of the galaxy.
NGC 4343 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by the astronomer William Herschel on April 13, 1784. At a distance of 80 million light-years, it is located in the Virgo Cluster. It contains an active galactic nucleus.
NGC 959 is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Triangulum. It was discovered on November 9, 1876, by French astronomer Édouard Stephan. This galaxy is located at a distance of 36 million light years and is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 596 km/s. It is a member of the NGC 1023 Group of galaxies.
