NGC 84 (PGC 3325897) 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 47 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus, discovered in 1886 by Ernst Wilhelm Leberecht Tempel. Its alternate name NGC 58 is due to the observation by Lewis Swift, who was unaware that Tempel had already discovered the celestial object earlier. It appears as a small, faint spiral nebula with a bright core and is slightly oval.
NGC 15 is a spiral galaxy located in the Pegasus constellation. It was discovered by Albert Marth on October 30, 1864.
NGC 3669 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. It was discovered by William Herschel on March 18, 1790. The galaxy is seen edge-on and appears to be slightly warped. It has a small bulge.
NGC 49 is a lenticular galaxy in the Andromeda constellation. The galaxy was discovered by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift on September 7, 1885.
NGC 77 is a lenticular galaxy located 780 million light-years away in the constellation of Cetus. It was discovered by Frank Muller in 1886. Its apparent magnitude is 14.8, and it is around 360,000 light-years across.
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 94 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered by Guillaume Bigourdan in 1884. This object is extremely faint and small. A little above the galaxy is NGC 96. NGC 94 is about 260 million light-years away and 50,000 light-years across.
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 6286 is an interacting spiral galaxy located in the constellation Draco. It is designated as Sb/P in the galaxy morphological classification scheme and was discovered by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift on 13 August 1885. NGC 6286 is located at about 252 million light years away from Earth. NGC 6286 and NGC 6285 form a pair of interacting galaxies, with tidal distortions, categorized as Arp 293 in the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
NGC 1545 is an open cluster in the constellation Perseus. It was discovered by William Herschel on December 28, 1790. It is located in the north-eastern part of the constellation, a few arcminutes east of the 4.5 magnitude star b Persei, near the equally large and bright NGC 1528, which is less than 1.5° towards the northwest. However, it is less dense and rich. The brightest star of the cluster is a K5 III giant star, with 7.1 magnitude, but its membership is questionable. One more 7.9 magnitude star is visible at the north edge of the cluster.
Arp 7 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Hydra. Redshift-independent measurements of its distance vary widely, from 5.9 Mpc to 83.7 Mpc. Its morphological classification is SB(rs)bc, meaning it is a barred spiral galaxy with some ring-like structure.
NGC 148 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Sculptor. It is about 40,000 light years across. It is in a group of three galaxies along with MCG-5-2-16 and IC 1555. It is a Shapley-Ames galaxy.
NGC 341 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 21, 1881 by Édouard Stephan. It was described by Dreyer as "faint, pretty large, round, a little brighter middle, mottled but not resolved." It has a companion galaxy, PGC 3627, which is sometimes called NGC 341B. For this, reason, it has been included in Halton Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies.
NGC 806 is a spiral galaxy approximately 166 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered by American astronomer Lewis A. Swift on November 1, 1886 with the 16" refractor at Warner Observatory.
NGC 510 is a double star in the constellation of Pisces. The stars are separated 8", and located 7' ESE of NGC 499 and 9' WNW of NGC 515.
NGC 6040 is a spiral galaxy located about 550 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules. NGC 6040 was discovered by astronomer Édouard Stephan on June 27, 1870. NGC 6040 is interacting with the lenticular galaxy PGC 56942. As a result of this interaction, NGC 6040's southern spiral arm has been warped in the direction toward PGC 56942. NGC 6040 and PGC 56942 are both members of the Hercules Cluster.
NGC 2936 is an interacting spiral galaxy located at a distance of 326 million light years, in the constellation Hydra. NGC 2936 is interacting with elliptical galaxy NGC 2937, located just beneath it. They were both discovered by Albert Marth on Mar 3, 1864. To some astronomers, the galaxy looks like a penguin or a porpoise. NGC 2936, NGC 2937, and PGC 1237172 are included in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as Arp 142 in the category "Galaxy triplet".
NGC 4746 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located 107 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It was discovered by John Herschel during a sky-survey on March 29, 1830.
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.
NGC 4015 is a lenticular galaxy in the Coma Berenices. It is located between 215 and 220 million light years away. Its visual magnitude is 13.15.
