NGC 395 is an open cluster located in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered on August 1, 1826, by James Dunlop. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, pretty large, round, gradually a little brighter middle." [2]
The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars is an astronomical catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. The NGC contains 7,840 objects, including galaxies, star clusters and emission nebulae. Dreyer published two supplements to the NGC in 1895 and 1908, known as the Index Catalogues, describing a further 5,386 astronomical objects. Thousands of these objects are best known by their NGC or IC numbers, which remain in widespread use.
NGC 1 is an intermediate spiral galaxy of the morphological type Sbc, located in the constellation of Pegasus. It was discovered on 30 September 1861 by Heinrich d'Arrest.
NGC 559 is an open cluster and Caldwell object in the constellation Cassiopeia. It shines at magnitude +9.5. Its celestial coordinates are RA 01h 29.5m, dec +63° 18′. It is located near the open cluster NGC 637, and the bright magnitude +2.2 irregular variable star Gamma Cassiopeiae. The cluster is 7 arcmins across.
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 118 is a spiral galaxy of type S(rs)a? pec with an apparent magnitude of 13.6 located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 23, 1867, by the astronomer Truman Safford.
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 227 is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 237 million light-years from the Sun in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 1, 1785 by William Herschel.
NGC 276 is a barred spiral galaxy located approximately 626 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Frank Muller and was later also observed by DeLisle Stewart.
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 523, also known as Arp 158, from the ARP catalog is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered separately by William Herschel on 13 September 1784, and by Heinrich d'Arrest on 13 August 1862. d'Arrest's discovery was listed as NGC 523, while Herschel's was listed as NGC 537; the two are one and the same. John Dreyer noted in the New General Catalogue that NGC 523 is a double nebula.
NGC 466 is a lenticular galaxy located about 227 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Tucana. NGC 466 was discovered by astronomer John Herschel on October 3, 1836.
NGC 487 is a barred spiral galaxy located about 250 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. NGC 487's calculated velocity is 5949 km/s. NGC 487 was discovered by American astronomer Francis Leavenworth on November 28, 1885.
NGC 480 is a spiral galaxy located about 546 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. NGC 480 was discovered by American astronomer Francis Leavenworth In 1886.
NGC 495, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5037, UGC 920 or GC 278, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is located approximately 184 million light-years from the Solar System and was discovered on 12 September 1784 by astronomer William Herschel.
NGC 499, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5060, IC 1686 or GC 289, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is located approximately 197 million light-years from the Solar System and was discovered on 12 September, 1784 by astronomer William Herschel.
NGC 508, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5099 or UGC 939, is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is located approximately 247 million light-years from the Solar System and was discovered on 12 September 1784 by British astronomer William Herschel.
NGC 512, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5132 or UGC 944, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It is located approximately 217 million light-years from the Solar System and was discovered on 17 November 1827 by astronomer John Herschel.
NGC 527, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5128 or PGC 5141, is a lenticular galaxy located approximately 259 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Sculptor. It was discovered on 1 September 1834 by astronomer John Herschel.
NGC 528 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It is located an estimated 70 million parsecs from the Milky Way. The object was discovered on 22 August 1865 by the German-Danish astronomer Heinrich Ludwig d'Arrest.
