Finder chart. Red-band image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 10 arcminutes across. Physical Information: NGC 454 is a pair of colliding galaxies.Based on a recessional velocity of 3630 km/sec, the pair is about 170 million light years away. NGC 2685 (also known as the Helix Galaxy) is a lenticular and polar ring Seyfert Type 2 galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 454 (= GC 253 = JH 2397, 1860 RA 01 08 35, NPD 146 08.6) is "very faint, small, round, brighter middle". It has a reasonably high surface brightness, which is partly due to its favourable inclination of 30 degrees. Red-band image from the Second Digitized Sky Survey (DSS2), measuring 10 arcminutes across. It is about 50,000 light-years across and about 42 million light-years away from Earth.

NGC 4244, also known as Caldwell 26, is an edge-on spiral galaxy located in the constellation of Canes Venatici. Classification Note: This galaxy is listed in most places as a lenticular galaxy (type SB0/a), but as the images below show it is actually a spiral; hence its listing as such above. Comparedto previous optical and IRAS galaxy samples, the NOG provides a densersampling of the galaxy distribution in the nearby universe. It is receding from Earth at 883 kilometers per second. Given itslarge sky coverage, the identification of groups, and its high-densitysampling, the NOG is suited to the analysis of the galaxy density fieldof the nearby universe, especially on small scales. Finder chart. +9.6, is a fine spiral galaxy located in Coma Berenices that's a member of the Virgo cluster of galaxies. The cluster NGC 2147. The galaxy appears highly flattened, spanning 16 x 2 arc minutes, and as a result is often referred to as the Silver Needle galaxy.

With an apparent magnitude of +10.0 it can be spotted with small telescopes under dark skies, but much easier with larger instruments.
