NGC 3750 (= PGC 36011 = one of the Copeland Septet = Hickson 57)
Discovered (Feb 9, 1874) by Ralph Copeland
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type E/S0?) in Leo (RA 11 37 51.6, Dec +21 58 29)
One of a group of seven galaxies discovered by Copeland: NGC 3745, 3746, 3748, 3750, 3751, 3753 and 3754. Per the first IC note for NGC 3745, the RA should be increased by 1m 32s, and the NPD reduced by 15.9 arcmin.

NGC 3755
Discovered (Mar 11, 1831) by John Herschel
NGC 3756
Discovered (Apr 14, 1789) by William Herschel
NGC 3757
Discovered (Mar 18, 1790) by William Herschel
NGC 3758
Discovered (Mar 18, 1874) by Ralph Copeland
NGC 3759
Discovered (Aug 19, 1866) by Heinrich d'Arrest
NGC 3760 (= NGC 3301)
Discovered (Mar 12, 1784) by William Herschel (and later listed as NGC 3301)
Discovered (Feb 21, 1863) by Heinrich d'Arrest (and later listed as NGC 3760)
The first IC adds "delenda (delete). It is = 3301 with an error of 1 hour in RA. Nothing seen in d'Arrest's place at Birr Castle and Strassburg"; so the identity of the two listings has been known for more than a century.

NGC 3799 (= PGC 36193 = (with NGC 3800) Arp 83)
Discovered (Apr 21, 1832) by John Herschel
A 14th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (type SB(s)b? pec) in Leo (RA 11 40 09.3, Dec +15 19 39)
Based on a recessional velocity of 3310 km/sec, NGC 3799 is about 150 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 0.8 by 0.5 arcmin, it is about 35 thousand light years across. Presumably part of an interacting pair, also known as Arp 83. |
