NGC 312 is an elliptical galaxy in the constellation Phoenix. It was discovered on September 5, 1836, by John Herschel. [2] NGC 312 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 13.4, NGC 312 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 10 inches (250mm) or more.
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 146 is a small open cluster in the constellation Cassiopeia. It was discovered by John Herschel in 1829 using his father's 18.7 inch reflecting telescope.
NGC 183 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on November 5, 1866, by Truman Safford.
NGC 214 is a spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Andromeda, located at a distance of 194 megalight-years from the Milky Way. It was discovered on September 10, 1784 by William Herschel. The shape of this galaxy is given by its morphological classification of SABbc, which indicates a weak bar-like structure (SAB) at the core and moderate to loosely-wound spiral arms (bc).
NGC 229 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on October 10, 1879, by Édouard Stephan.
NGC 230 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered in 1886 by Francis Leavenworth.
NGC 233 is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on September 11, 1784 by William Herschel.
NGC 237 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1867 by Truman Safford.
NGC 244 is a lenticular galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on December 30, 1785 by William Herschel.
NGC 245 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 1, 1785 by William Herschel.
NGC 260 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda. It was discovered on August 27, 1865 by Heinrich d'Arrest.
NGC 286 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on October 2, 1886 by Francis Leavenworth.
NGC 293 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864 by Albert Marth.
NGC 298 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864, by Albert Marth. NGC 298 is situated close to the celestial equator and, as such, it is at least partly visible from both hemispheres in certain times of the year. Given its B magnitude of 14.7, NGC 298 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 20 inches or more.
NGC 307 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 6, 1831 by John Herschel.
NGC 327 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864 by Albert Marth. It is described by Dreyer as "faint, small, extended." It is nearby galaxies NGC 329, NGC 325 and NGC 321.
NGC 329 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864 by Albert Marth. It was described by Dreyer as "faint, extended."
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 342 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864 by Albert Marth. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, very small."
NGC 347 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It was discovered on September 27, 1864, by Albert Marth. It was described by Dreyer as "very faint, very small."
