The Catalogue of Principal Galaxies (PGC) is an astronomical catalog published in 1989 that lists B1950 and J2000 equatorial coordinates and cross-identifications for 73,197 galaxies. It is based on the Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database (LEDA), which was originally started in 1983. 40,932 coordinates (56%) have standard deviations smaller than 10″. A total of 131,601 names from the 38 most common sources are listed. Available mean data for each object are given:

NGC 7522 is an astronomical object whose identity is in question. It was originally catalogued as a faint nebula. Although SIMBAD identifies it as PGC 70742, this is unlikely, due to the faintness of the galaxy. Instead, it is possible that a nearby star was accidentally catalogued as a nebula.

IC 5332, also known as PGC 71775 is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 30 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. IC 5332 is a delicate spiral galaxy that is unusually faint and beautifully symmetrical. As viewed from earth it is nearly face on. It has a very small central bulge and open spiral arms accounting for its classification (SABc). The galaxy lies in the direction of the galactic south pole.

NGC 331 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Francis Leavenworth. It was described by Dreyer as "extremely faint, very small, round, a little brighter middle, 12th magnitude star 3 arcmin northeast." There are two candidates as to which object is NGC 331: PGC 2759 or PGC 3406, with the former being a much more likely candidate than the latter.

NGC 336 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 31, 1885 by Francis Leavenworth. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, small, round, suddenly brighter middle." It is also known as PGC 3470. Despite this, sometimes it is mistakenly identified as PGC 3526.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">NGC 390</span> Star in the constellation Pisces

NGC 390 is a star located in the constellation Pisces. It was discovered on November 19, 1884 by Guillaume Bigourdan. It was described by Dreyer as very faint, very small, stellar." However, this position precesses to a position where there is nothing apart from a few scattered stars. Bigourdan's original measurements point exactly to a star, which is the most likely candidate for NGC 390; however, as a result of this confusion, a galaxy nearby has sometimes been mistaken as NGC 390.
