NGC 414 is a pair of lenticular galaxies (PGC 4254 and PGC 93079) of types S0 and E/S0, respectively, located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on October 22, 1867 by Herman Schultz. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, small, irregularly round, much brighter middle, II 220 to the northwest.", with II 220 being NGC 410. [2]

NGC 4038 Group Galaxy group in the constellations Corvus and Crater

The NGC 4038 Group is a group of galaxies in the constellations Corvus and Crater. The group may contain between 13 and 27 galaxies. The group's best known galaxies are the Antennae Galaxies, a well-known interacting pair of galaxies.

Dorado Group Galaxy cluster in the constellation Dorado

The Dorado Group is a loose concentration of galaxies containing both spirals and ellipticals. It is generally considered a 'galaxy group' but may approach the size of a 'galaxy cluster'. It lies primarily in the southern constellation Dorado and is one of the richest galaxy groups of the Southern Hemisphere. Gérard de Vaucouleurs was the first to identify it in 1975 as a large complex nebulae II in the Dorado region, designating it as G16.

NGC 65 Spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus

NGC 65 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. Its apparent magnitude is 13.4. It was first discovered in 1886, and is also known as PGC 1229.

NGC 67 Elliptical galaxy in the constellation Andromeda

NGC 67 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda that was discovered on October 7, 1855 by R. J. Mitchell, who described it as "extremely faint, very small, round". The galaxy belongs to the NGC 68 group, which also contains the galaxies NGC 68, NGC 69, NGC 70, NGC 71, NGC 72, and possibly NGC 74.

NGC 84 Star in the constellation Andromeda

NGC 84 is a star in the Andromeda constellation. It was recorded on November 14, 1884 by Guillaume Bigourdan. It is situated close to the Celestial equator, making it at least partly visible in the sky, from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. It is usually mistaken with PGC 1384.

NGC 91 Star in the constellation Andromeda

NGC 91 is a star with an apparent magnitude of 14.4 in the constellation of Andromeda. The star is southwest of the galaxy NGC 90. Discovered in 1866 by Herman Schultz, there have been many arguments if this star exists or not. However, people have observed the star, and have confirmed that NGC 91 exists.

NGC 6285 Galaxy in the constellation Draco

NGC 6285 is an interacting spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. It is classified as S0-a in the galaxy morphological classification scheme and was discovered by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift in 1886. NGC 6285 is located at about 262 million light years away from Earth. NGC 6285 and NGC 6286 form a pair of interacting galaxies, with tidal distortions, categorized as Arp 293 in the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies

NGC 125 Lenticular galaxy in Pisces

NGC 125 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Pisces. It is designated as subclass Sa Ring in the galaxy morphological classification scheme. It lies approximately 235 million light-years away.
