NGC 7414 (= PGC 70008)
Discovered (Sep 2, 1886) by Lewis Swift (4-88)
A 16th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type S0) in Pegasus (RA 22 55 24.3, Dec +13 14 56)
NGC 7415 (= PGC 69984 + PGC 69985)
Discovered (Sep 13, 1863) by Albert Marth (506)
A pair of 15th-magnitude spiral galaxies in Pegasus
PGC 69984 = A spiral galaxy (type Sab) at RA 22 54 51.7, Dec +20 15 44
PGC 69985 = A spiral galaxy (type S) at RA 22 54 53.6, Dec +20 15 43)
PGC 69984 is about 1.1 by 0.2 arcmin apparent size. PGC 69985 is about 0.5 by 0.3 arcmin apparent size. A 1500 km/sec difference in the two galaxies' recessional velocities (which would usually imply a difference in their distance of about 70 million light years) and their lack of any obvious distortion suggest that they are not as close to each other as they appear, are not physically interacting, and are probably an "optical double".

About 3.5 by 2.6 arcmin apparent size. NGC 7418 is listed as a member of a group of galaxies in (or near) Sculptor with recessional velocities of about 1500 to 1800 km/sec (this is not "the" Sculptor Group, a close neighbor to our Local Group, with an average recessional velocity of less than 300 km/sec).

The second IC notes "I assume Javelle 1426 = NGC 7422, the comparison star being BD+03 4794, and not 4796. Places agree then". About 1.0 by 0.8 arcmin apparent size.

NGC 7423 (= OCL 246)
Discovered (Nov 1, 1788) by William Herschel
An open cluster (type II3m) in Cepheus (RA 22 55 06.5, Dec +57 05 41)

A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SB0/a) in Aquarius (RA 22 57 15.6, Dec -10 57 00)

Discovered (Aug 27, 1864) by Heinrich d'Arrest
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S) in Pegasus (RA 22 57 29.7, Dec +08 47 40)

NGC 7431 (= PGC 1765321)
Discovered (Sep 30, 1886) by Guillaume Bigourdan (II-92)
A 15th-magnitude pair of compact galaxies (type C + C) in Pegasus (RA 22 57 38.8, Dec +26 09 52)
A contact double system. Apparent size 0.4 by 0.2 arcmin. There appears to be considerable confusion as to the proper identification of the NGC objects in the compact group of galaxies near this one. As a result, Wikisky (presumably incorrectly) identifies this pair only by its PGC number.
|
NGC 7432 (= PGC 70129)
Discovered (Nov 23, 1785) by William Herschel
A 13th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E3) in Pegasus (RA 22 58 02.2, Dec +13 08 04)

Discovered (Oct 12, 1855) by R. J. Mitchell
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S?) in Pegasus (RA 22 57 51.7, Dec +26 09 44)
Apparent size about 0.7 by 0.2 arcmin. There appears to be considerable confusion as to the proper identification of the NGC objects in the compact group of galaxies near this one. As a result, Wikisky (presumably incorrectly) identifies this galaxy as NGC 7431.
|
NGC 7434 (= PGC 70145)
Discovered (Jul 27, 1864) by Albert Marth (511)
A 15th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type E/S0) in Pisces (RA 22 58 21.4, Dec -01 11 00)
Apparent size about 0.6 by 0.3 arcmin.
|
NGC 7435 (= PGC 70116)
Discovered (Oct 12, 1855) by R. J. Mitchell
A 14th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (type SBa) in Pegasus (RA 22 57 54.4, Dec +26 08 20)
The second IC posits "= Javelle 1427". Apparent size about 1.2 by 0.7 arcmin. One of the few NGC objects in this region that seems to be listed the same way in different references.
|
NGC 7436 (= PGC 70124 + PGC 70123)
Discovered (Dec 2, 1784) by William Herschel
A multiple galaxy (type E0 + S pec) in Pegasus
PGC 70124 is a 13th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E0) at RA 22 57 57.5, Dec +26 09 00
PGC 70123 is a 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S pec) at RA 22 57 56.2, Dec +26 09 00
Apparent size of PGC 70124 is about 2.0 by 2.0 arcmin. Apparent size of PGC 70123 is about 0.6 by 0.2 arcmin. Various references call one galaxy NGC 7436 or 7436A, and the other NGC 7436B; but which is which varies from one reference to another, so the PGC listings should be used to ensure proper identification. In fact, Wikisky labels PGC 70123 as NGC 7436, and PGC 70124 as NGC 7433, which is almost certainly wrong. Part of an apparently compact group of galaxies (NGC 7433, 7435 and 7436, plus some smaller apparent companions), so close together that proper identification of the original NGC objects is apparently equally difficult (and therefore, will be dealt with in a later iteration of this page).

Discovered (Oct 31, 1885) by Lewis Swift (2-94)
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Scd) in Pegasus (RA 22 58 10.1, Dec +14 18 31)
Apparent size about 1.8 by 1.8 arcmin.

A group of stars in Cassiopeia (RA 22 57 20.0, Dec +54 18 38)
NGC 7439 (= PGC 70134)
Discovered (Sep 9, 1863) by Albert Marth (512)
A 14th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SB0) in Pegasus (RA 22 58 09.9, Dec +29 13 44)
The second IC lists a corrected NPD (per Bigourdan) of 61 35. Apparent size about 1.0 by 0.6 arcmin.
|
NGC 7440 (= PGC 70152)
Discovered (Oct 9, 1876) by Édouard Stephan (8a-25)
A 14th-magnitude barred spiral galaxy (type SBa) in Andromeda (RA 22 58 32.5, Dec +35 48 11)
The second IC states "Bigourdan gives RA 22 52 10, NPD 54 53. This differs from Stephan's place by 10 seconds and 4 arcmin. Perhaps Stephan applied his Δδ (2 arcmin) with the wrong sign". Apparent size 1.4 by 1.1 arcmin.

NGC 7441 (= IC 1458 = PGC 70080)
Discovered (1886) by Ormond Stone (I-260) (and later listed as NGC 7441)

NGC 7443 (= PGC 70218)
Discovered (Oct 3, 1785) by William Herschel
A 12th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SB0^+(s): edge-on) in Aquarius (RA 23 00 08.7, Dec -12 48 28)
"north of 2", the other being NGC 7444. Based on a recessional velocity of 3510 km/sec, NGC 7443 is about 165 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.5 by 0.5 arcmin, it is about 70 thousand light years across. The distance calculated for NGC 7443 is about 30 million light years further than for NGC 7444, but peculiar (non-Hubble expansion) velocities for galaxies are usually a couple of hundred km/sec or more, so they may be somewhat closer together, and a well-separated but still gravitationally bound pair.

A 13th-magnitude lenticular galaxy (type SB0^0(r)? edge-on) in Aquarius (RA 23 00 08.8, Dec -12 50 03)
"south of 2", the other being NGC 7443. Based on a recessional velocity of 2920 km/sec, NGC 7444 is about 135 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.7 by 0.6 arcmin, it is about 65 thousand light years across. The distance calculated for NGC 7444 is about 30 million light years closer than for NGC 7443, but peculiar (non-Hubble expansion) velocities for galaxies are usually a couple of hundred km/sec or more, so they may be somewhat closer together, and a well-separated but still gravitationally bound pair.

NGC 7447
Recorded (Oct 8, 1855) by Edward Cooper
A lost or nonexistent object in Aquarius (RA 23 00 26.0, Dec -10 31 39)
The first IC notes "7447: to be struck out, as Burnham also could not find it. He only saw a faint triple star a little northwest of the place".
