NGC 1705 is a peculiar lenticular galaxy and a blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCD) in the southern constellation of Pictor, positioned less than a degree to the east of Iota Pictoris, and is undergoing a starburst. With an apparent visual magnitude of 12.6 it requires a telescope to observe. It is estimated to be approximately 17 million light-years from the Earth, and is a member of the Dorado Group.
NGC 3201 is a low galactic latitude globular cluster in the southern constellation of Vela. It has a very low central concentration of stars. This cluster was discovered by James Dunlop on May 28, 1826 and listed in his 1827 catalogue. He described it as "a pretty large pretty bright round nebula, 4′ or 5′ diameter, very gradually condensed towards the centre, easily resolved into stars; the figure is rather irregular, and the stars are considerably scattered on the south".
NGC 45 is a low surface brightness spiral galaxy in the equatorial constellation of Cetus. It was discovered on 11 November 1835 by the English astronomer John Herschel. The galaxy is located at a distance of 22 million light years and is receding with a heliocentric radial velocity of 466 km/s. It is located in the vicinity of the Sculptor Group, but is most likely a background galaxy.
NGC 406 is a spiral galaxy quite similar to the well known Whirlpool Galaxy, located some 65 million light-years away, in the southern constellation of Tucana and discovered in 1834 by John Herschel. It is described in the New General Catalogue as "faint, very large, round, very gradually a little brighter middle". NGC 406 is about 60000 light-years across, roughly half the diameter of the Milky Way.
NGC 59 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is a probable member of the Sculptor Group. It is approximately 17 million light-years away.
NGC 53 is a ringed barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Tucana. It was discovered by John Herschel on 15 September 1836. He described it as "very faint, small, extended". The galaxy is approximately 120,000 light-years across, making it about as large as the Milky Way.
NGC 70 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 7, 1855, by R. J. Mitchell and was also observed on December 19, 1897 by Guillaume Bigourdan from France who described it as "extremely faint, very small, round, between 2 faint stars".
NGC 4147 is the New General Catalogue identifier for a globular cluster of stars in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices. It was discovered by English astronomer William Herschel on March 14, 1784, who described it as "very bright, pretty large, gradually brighter in the middle". With an apparent visual magnitude of 10.7, it is located around 60,000 light years away from the Sun at a relatively high galactic latitude of 77.2°.
NGC 672 is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Triangulum, positioned around 2° to the southwest of the star Alpha Trianguli. The original object designated NGC 672 was discovered by the German-born astronomer William Herschel on 26 October 1786, but this was later cataloged as NGC 614. The object now identified as NGC 672 was discovered by John Herschel on 11 November 1827.
NGC 2197 is an centrally condensed open cluster within the Large Magellanic Cloud, in the Dorado constellation. It is estimated to be 400 million years old.
NGC 446 is a lenticular galaxy of type (R)SAB0^0 located in the constellation Pisces. It was first discovered on October 23, 1864 by Albert Marth ; it was also seen on August 20, 1892 by Stéphane Javelle. It was described by Dreyer as "faint, very small, stellar."
NGC 449 is a spiral galaxy of type (R')S? located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on November 11, 1881 by Édouard Stephan. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, very small, round, very little brighter middle, very faint star involved."
NGC 5026 is a barred spiral galaxy or lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. It was discovered on 5 June 1834 by John Herschel. It was described as "pretty bright, pretty large, round, gradually brighter middle" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue.
NGC 3191 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It is located at a distance of about 400 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 3191 is about 115,000 light years across. The galaxy has been distorted and interacts with a companion 1.3 arcminutes to the west. An extremely blue tidal bridge lies between them.
NGC 4111 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It is located at a distance of circa 50 million light-years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 4111 is about 55,000 light-years across. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1788. NGC 4111 possesses both thin and thick discs.
NGC 7209 is an open cluster in the constellation Lacerta. It was discovered by William Herschel on 19 October 1787. The cluster lies 3,810 light years away from Earth. It has been suggested that there is another cluster at a distance of 2,100 light years projected in front of a cluster lying at 3,800 light years away, based on the reddening of the cluster, however, further photometric studies of the cluster did not support that claim.
NGC 4026 is an edge-on lenticular galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It is located at a distance of circa 50 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 4026 is about 80,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel on April 12, 1789.
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 6789 is an irregular galaxy in the constellation Draco. It was discovered by Lewis Swift on Aug 30, 1883. It is located within the Local Void, a region of space with far fewer galaxies than its surroundings.
NGC 3009 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Ursa Major. It is about 35 thousand light years across, and with a recessional velocity of 4,445 kilometers per second, is at a distance of 205 million light years from the sun. NGC 3009 is also known by the catalog name of PGC 28330, and is often mistaken for the dimmer PGC 28303. This is due to the fact that these objects are very close to each other in the sky, and the astronomer Dreyer misinterpreted John Herschel's original March 17, 1828 record of the galaxy, mistaking it for one a few arcminutes to the west. Herschel would have been unable to see PGC 28303 as anything but a background star, due to his less advanced telescope at the time.
