Messier 77 (M77), also known as NGC 1068 or the Squid Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is about 47 million light-years (14 Mpc) away from Earth. Messier 77 was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1780, who originally described it as a nebula. Méchain then communicated his discovery to Charles Messier, who subsequently listed the object in his catalog. Both Messier and William Herschel described this galaxy as a star cluster. Today, however, the object is known to be a galaxy.
NGC 2 is an intermediate spiral galaxy with the morphological type of Sab, located in the constellation of Pegasus. NGC 2 was discovered by Lawrence Parsons, 4th Earl of Rosse on 20 August 1873."
NGC 6745 is an irregular galaxy about 206 million light-years away in the constellation Lyra. It is actually a trio of galaxies in the process of colliding.
NGC 3310 is a grand design spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It is a starburst galaxy and it is likely that NGC 3310 collided with one of its satellite galaxies about 100 million years ago, triggering widespread star formation. It is thought to be located approximately 46 million light-years away from the Earth, and is thought to be about 22,000 light-years wide.
NGC 1410 is a peculiar lenticular galaxy in the constellation Taurus. It was discovered on January 17, 1855, by English astronomer R. J. Mitchell. NGC 1410 is located in close proximity to the larger lenticular galaxy NGC 1409, and the two are strongly interacting. Their respective nuclei have a separation of just 23 kly, and they share a diffuse stellar envelope with a radius extending out to 49 kly.
NGC 5749 is an open cluster of stars positioned near the southwest border of the southern constellation of Lupus. It is located at a distance of 3,548 light years from the Sun. This is a poorly populated cluster that shows a low level of concentration; the Trumpler class is IV1p. There are 112 stars brighter than magnitude 14.4 within an angular radius of ~15′ of the cluster center, but only about 30% of these are members. NGC 5749 is 27 million years old with a tidal radius of 11.7 light years and a mass of ~21 M☉. Polarization measurements suggest there is a dust cloud within the cluster.
NGC 1553 is a prototypical lenticular galaxy in the constellation Dorado. It is the second brightest member of the Dorado Group of galaxies. British astronomer John Herschel discovered NGC 1553 on December 5, 1834 using an 18.7 inch reflector.
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 285 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 2, 1886, by Francis Leavenworth.
NGC 286 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 2, 1886 by Francis Leavenworth.
NGC 304 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 23, 1878, by Édouard Stephan.
NGC 313 is a triple star located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on November 29, 1850, by Bindon Stoney.
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 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 337 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 10, 1785 by William Herschel. It was described by Dreyer as "pretty faint, large, extended, gradually a little brighter middle, 10th magnitude star 21 seconds of time to the east."
NGC 347 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864, by Albert Marth. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, very small."
NGC 364 is a barred lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 2, 1864, by Albert Marth. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, very small."
NGC 385 is an unbarred lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on November 4, 1850, by Bindon Stoney. It was described by Dreyer as "pretty faint, pretty small, round, northeastern of 2.", the other being NGC 384. Along with galaxies NGC 375, NGC 379, NGC 382, NGC 383, NGC 384, NGC 386, NGC 387 and NGC 388, NGC 385 forms a galaxy cluster called Arp 331.
