NGC 1150 (= PGC 11144)
Discovered (Dec 31, 1885) by Francis Leavenworth (I-76)
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type S?) in Eridanus (RA 02 57 01, Dec -15 02 54)
Based on recessional velocity of 8925 km/sec, about 400 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.7 by 0.4 arcmin, about 80 thousand light years in diameter. |

NGC 1151 (= PGC 11147)
Discovered (Dec 31, 1885) by Francis Leavenworth
A 15th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E?) in Eridanus (RA 02 57 05, Dec -15 00 47)
Per Dreyer, NGC 1151 (= Leavenworth list I (#77), 1860 RA 02 50 35, NPD 105 36.4) is "extremely faint, small, round (nebulous?), near last" (the last being NGC 1150). The second Index Catalog says "Delete the query (per Howe)"; in other words, the object is nebulous. About 0.6 by 0.4 arcmin apparent size; nothing else available |

NGC 1173
Discovered (Dec 17, 1884) by Guillaume Bigourdan (I-12)
NGC 1174 (= NGC 1186)
Discovered (Oct 27, 1786) by William Herschel (and later listed as NGC 1186)
Discovered (Aug 31, 1883) by Lewis Swift (and later listed as NGC 1174)
Per Dreyer, NGC 1174 (= Swift list IV (#11), 1860 RA 02 55 17, NPD 47 43.1) is "pretty faint, pretty small, a little extended, pretty bright star close following". The first Index Catalog adds "Probably identical with h281 = IV.43 (per Spitaler). The words 'pretty bright star close following' were inserted in accordance with a correction made by Mr. Swift in a letter. This fouth list has 'close preceding', which is correct". h281 refers to John Herschel's (pre-GC) list, and IV.43 to William Herschel's list, and both correspond to NGC 1186; so the IC correction made the connection between the two entries over a century ago. |
