Also observed (Nov 4, 1850) by Bindon Stoney
Also observed (date?) by Herbert Howe
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SBb?) in Aquarius (RA 22 30 59.9, Dec -14 00 13)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7300 (= GC 4801 = GC 4799 = JH 2164, 1860 RA 22 23 28, NPD 104 43.5) is "very faint, considerably small, extended, very gradually a little brighter middle." The second IC notes "7300 is not considerably small, but pretty large, extended 150 degrees (John Herschel and Herbert Howe)".

NGC 7303 (= PGC 69061)
Discovered (Sep 15, 1828) by
John Herschel
Also observed (Aug 24, 1884) by Guillaume Bigourdan
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SABbc? pec) in Pegasus (RA 22 31 32.8, Dec +30 57 21)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7303 (= GC 4804 = JH 2166, 1860 RA 22 25 00, NPD 59 46.4) is "very faint, small, round, gradually a very little brighter middle." The second IC adds "Bigourdan 452 is 2 seconds preceding (to the west of) this. I assume it is a very faint double star that I saw in 1875 100 arcsec south-preceding-preceding (west southwes)t, as Bigourdan says his object may be a cluster".
NOTE TO SELF: The pair of stars referred to by Dreyer is 7.5 seconds of time to the west, so whether it is Big452 is not certain.
Physical Information: Apparent size about 1.7 by 1.3 arcmin (from the images below).

NGC 7304
Recorded (Aug 20, 1862) by
Heinrich d'Arrest
Looked for (Sep 29, 1875) but not found by John Dreyer
Looked for (Aug 24, 1884) but not found by Guillaume Bigourdan
A nonexistent object in Pegasus (RA 22 31 34.8, Dec +30 58 34)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7304 (= GC 4803, d'Arrest, 1860 RA 22 25 02, NPD 59 45.3) is "very faint, pretty small, a very little brighter middle, north-following (northeast of) h 2166 (?)," (JH) 2166 being NGC 7303. The position precesses to RA 22 31 29.2, Dec +30 57 46, but that lies about 0.9 arcmin to the west-northwest of NGC 7303, so that cannot be the correct position for d'Arrest's object. To determine the correct position, we can compare d'Arrest's observations of JH 2166 to those for his "nova" (made on the same night); doing so shows that he put his nova 2 seconds of time to the east and 1.2 arcmin of declination to the north of NGC 7303 (precessing from his 1861 positions to J2000 positions does not change the result). Given the modern position of NGC 7303, that yields a position for d'Arrest's nova of RA 22 31 34.8, Dec +30 58 34 (whence the position shown above), which lies slightly to the northeast of NGC 7303, but there is nothing there that d'Arrest could have seen. Neither d'Arrest, looking for it on another night, nor Bigourdan or Dreyer (using the largest telescope in the world, Lord Rosse's 72-inch "Leviathan") could find anything that could be NGC 7304, and it is certain that the object simply does not exist.
Observational Notes: Bigourdan actually looked for this on three occasions, once after d'Arrest published his work but before the NGC was published, and twice after the NGC was published. On all three occasions he wrote that he couldn't find anything, or that he couldn't find anything except NGC 7303. Dreyer's failure to observe the object is undoubtedly why he put a question mark at the end of the NGC entry.
Historical Misidentifications: Some references (e.g., HyperLEDA) list a triplet of stars near RA 22 31 44.4, Dec +30 58 47 as NGC 7304, but they cannot be what d'Arrest thought he saw, as his measurements are too accurate to be that far "off", and if that triplet had been what he saw, he almost certainly would have seen it on his second attempt. So they are only mentioned here as a warning about that erroneous identification. The UGC also misidentifies NGC 7304, but as a duplicate of NGC 7303, which it most certainly is not.

NGC 7311 (= PGC 69172)
Discovered (Aug 30, 1785) by
William Herschel
Also observed (Oct 13, 1827) by John Herschel
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sab?) in Pegasus (RA 22 34 06.8, Dec +05 34 13)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7311 (= GC 4808 = JH 2168 = WH II 428, 1860 RA 22 27 03, NPD 85 09.0) is "pretty faint, small, round, pretty suddenly brighter middle, mottled but not resolved."
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 4535 km/sec, NGC 7311 is about 210 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 180 to 220 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of about 1.6 by 0.75 arcmin (from the images below), it is about 100 thousand light years across.

NGC 7314 (=
Arp 14 = PGC 69253)
Discovered (Jul 29, 1834) by John Herschel
A magnitude 11.0 spiral galaxy (type SAB(rs)bc?) in Piscis Austrinus (RA 22 35 46.2, Dec -26 03 02)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7314 (= GC 4810 = JH 3949, 1860 RA 22 28 02, NPD 116 45.9) is "considerably faint, large, much extended 0°, a very little brighter middle." The position precesses to RA 22 35 47.1, Dec -26 02 32, within the northeastern outline of the galaxy listed above, the description fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: NGC 7314 is a Seyfert galaxy (type S1h). Based on a recessional velocity of 1430 km/sec (and H0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), it is about 65 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 50 to 70 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of about 4.6 by 1.9 arcmin (from the images below), it is nearly 90 thousand light years across. NGC 7314 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).
Arp Atlas Designation: NGC 7314 is used in the Arp Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies as an example of a spiral galaxy with detached segments, correctly identified as NGC 7314, and with the note "Almost no nucleus".

NGC 7317 (= PGC 69256)
With
NGC 7318, 7319 and 7320 = Stephan's Quintet = Arp 319 = Hickson 92
Discovered (Sep 23, 1876) by Édouard Stephan
A 14th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E1?) in Pegasus (RA 22 35 51.9, Dec +33 56 42)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7317 (= GC 6061, Stephan list VIII (#19), 1860 RA 22 29 30, NPD 56 46.7) is "very faint, very small."
Physical Information: NGC 7317 is one of the four galaxies in Stephan's Quintet that are at about the same distance from us (NGC 7320 is merely a foreground galaxy). Based on its recessional velocity of 6600 km/sec, NGC 7317 is about 310 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 0.7 by 0.7? arcmin, it is about 65 thousand light years across.

NGC 7318 (= PGC 69260 + 69263)
With
NGC 7317, 7319 and 7320 = Stephan's Quintet = Arp 319 = Hickson 92
Discovered (Sep 23, 1876) by Édouard Stephan
A pair of interacting 13th-magnitude galaxies in Pegasus
PGC 69260 = "NGC 7318A" = An elliptical galaxy (type E2? pec) at RA 22 35 56.7, Dec +33 57 56
PGC 69263 = "NGC 7318B" = A spiral galaxy (type SB(s)bc? pec) at RA 22 35 58.4, Dec +33 57 58
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7318 (= GC 6062, Stephan list VIII (#20), 1860 RA 22 29 35, NPD 56 45.5) is "extremely faint, extremely small."
Physical Information: NGC 7318 represents two of the four galaxies in Stephan's Quintet that are at about the same distance from us (NGC 7320 is merely a foreground galaxy). Based on a recessional velocity of 6630 km/sec, PGC 69260 (the western member of the pair) should be about 310 million light years away, which is about the same distance as NGC 7317. However, there must be a substantial effect due to peculiar (non-Hubble-expansion) velocities, since PGC 69263, which is strongly interacting with PGC 69260 and must be at the same distance, has a recessional velocity of only 5775 km/sec, which corresponds to a distance of only 270 million light years. That value is probably too low, and the other distance probably too high, and the pair must have an actual distance around 290 million light years (give or take at least 10 million light years). Given that, PGC 69260's apparent size of 1.3 by 1.2 arcmin corresponds to about 110 thousand light years, and PGC 69263's apparent size of 2.0 by 1.0 arcmin corresponds to about 170 thousand light years (these sizes probably include the clouds of gas and stars ejected from the main structures by their gravitational interaction).

Below, a ? arcmin wide infrared image of the region shows (in false-color green) a region of gas larger than our Milky Way galaxy colliding with the esatern side of NGC 7318 at more than a million miles an hour. The shock wave caused by that collision heats up the gas (causing the radiation shown in the image) and compresses it, forming knots of hot, bright young stars seen scattered throughout the region in the visible-light images above.

NGC 7319 (= PGC 69269)
With
7317, NGC 7318 and 7320 = Stephan's Quintet = Arp 319 = Hickson 92
Discovered (Sep 23, 1876) by Édouard Stephan
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SB(s)bc? pec) in Pegasus (RA 22 36 03.6, Dec +33 58 33)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7319 (= GC 6063, Stephan list VIII (#21), 1860 RA 22 29 40, NPD 56 44.8) is "extremely faint, extremely small."
Physical Information: NGC 7319 is one of the four galaxies in Stephan's Quintet that are at about the same distance from us (NGC 7320 is merely a foreground galaxy). Based on a recessional velocity of 6745 km/sec, NGC 7319 is about 300 million light years away, which is about the same as the estimated distances for the other members of the group. Given that and its apparent size of 1.7 by 1.3 arcmin, it about 150 thousand light years across, and a long arm of ejected material extends another 200 thousand light years or so to its southwest. Presumably due to its gravitational interaction with the other members of the Quintet, NGC 7319 is a Seyfert galaxy (type Sy 2).

Discovered (Sep 23, 1876) by Édouard Stephan
A 13th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SA(s)d?) in Pegasus (RA 22 36 03.4, Dec +33 56 54)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7320 (= GC 6064, Stephan list VIII (#22), 1860 RA 22 29 41, NPD 56 46.5) is "faint, very small."
Physical Information: Although listed as a member of Stephan's Quintet (because discovered by Stephan at the same time, and in the same direction), NGC 7320 is unconnected to the other galaxies in the group, being nearly ten times closer to us. Based on a recessional velocity of 785 km/sec, NGC 7320 is about 35 million light years away. However, for such small distances, peculiar (non-Hubble-expansion) velocities can significantly affect the distance estimate, and the value is considerably less than redshift-independent estimates of 45 to 60 million light years; so for the purposes of this discussion, I have assumed an approximate distance of about 50 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 2.2 by 1.1 arcmin, the galaxy is probably about 30 thousand light years across.

Pegasus (RA 22 36 32.2, Dec +33 47 45)
Note About Non-Standard Designations: The use of NGC/IC designations plus letters is common but inconsistent, and has led to errors in assigning physical data to one galaxy or another; hence my usual use of the PGC (Principal Galaxy Catalog) designation as shown above. However, the original PGC only had about 73,000 entries, and although LEDA lists several million supplementary entries (which are used throughout this catalog), their use is "deprecated", meaning discouraged whenever better designations are available. In this case, the preferred designation would be 2MASXJ22363213+3347456, as also shown above.
Physical Information: PGC 3965656 has no apparent relationship to NGC 7320, so save for being within a quarter degree of Stephan's Quintet, it is a mystery why it received its faux NGC name. Other than its apparent size (about 0.7 by 0.15 arcmin from the images below), there appears to be nothing available.

Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 5985 km/sec, PGC 69279 is about 280 million light years away, which is close to the average distance of Stephen's Quintet, so unlike NGC 7320, which is a foreground galaxy, PGC 69279 may be a member of the main group. Given that distance and its apparent size of 0.7 by 0.45 arcmin (from the images below), it is about 55 thousand light years across.

NGC 7327
Recorded (1882) by
Wilhelm Tempel
Per Steinicke, a 12th-magnitude star in Pegasus (RA 22 37 24.5, Dec +34 25 42)
Per Corwin, with a question mark, RA 22 36 33.0, Dec +34 30 05
Per Corwin, with a question mark and a star, RA 22 36 33.3, Dec +34 30 05
Per Corwin, with a question mark and gal, RA 22 36 33.7, Dec +34 30 05
Corwin also lists 3 stars and 3 double stars as possible candidates (so obviously a mess, to be dealt with later)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7327 (Temple list V, 1860 RA 22 30 30, NPD 56 15) is "extremely faint, extremely small, north-preceding (northwest of) h 2172," (JH) 2172 being NGC 7331.
Warning About Misidentification: Steinicke lists NGC 7327 as the star listed above, but that is east of NGC 7331, while Tempel stated his nova was northwest of that galaxy, so Steinicke's identification must be wrong; but some references are bound to use the incorrect identification (as did this entry until I referred to Dreyer's and Corwin's notes on the subject). Unfortunately, just which object northwest of NGC 7331 is NGC 7327 is not obvious, so for now this entry merely points out that the previous identification was incorrect, and a discussion of the more likely "correct" identifications must wait for the next iteration of this page.

NGC 7329
(= PGC 69453 = ESO 109-012)

Discovered (Jul 20, 1835) by
John Herschel
A magnitude 11.3 spiral galaxy (type SB(rs)bc?) in Tucana (RA 22 40 24.2, Dec -66 28 44)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7329 (= GC 4814 = JH 3951, 1860 RA 22 30 37, NPD 157 12.3) is "pretty bright, pretty small, much extended 90°." The position precesses to RA 22 40 24.9, Dec -66 28 40, essentially dead center on the galaxy listed above, the description fits and there is nothing else nearby, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation of 3150 km/sec (and H0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), NGC 7329 is about 145 to 150 million light-years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of about 70 to 175 million light-years. Given that and its apparent size of about 4.2 by 2.7 arcmin (from the images below), the galaxy is about 180 thousand light-years across.

Corwin has RA 22 37 04.1, Dec +34 24 57 (so probably not the same object as listed above)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7331 (= GC 4815 = JH 2172 = WH I 53, 1860 RA 22 30 40, NPD 56 18.5) is "bright, pretty large, pretty much extended 163°, suddenly much brighter middle."
Physical Information: Apparent size 10.2 by 4.2? arcmin. As noted in the press release for the HST image at the bottom, in many respects, NGC 7331 is just like our Milky Way galaxy. It has a similar size, similar numbers and types of stars, and a similar spiral structure. However, it does not have the central bar that our galaxy is now known to have, and the stars in its core are rotating around the center of the galaxy in the opposite direction from the stars in the spiral arms and disk.
Note: Although some images of NGC 7331 are shown below, several others will be posted when a discussion of the galaxy's physical characteristics is added to this entry (presumably in the next iteration of this page).

Recorded (Sep 20, 1865) by
Herman Schultz
A magnitude 15.1 double star in Pegasus (RA 22 37 11.6, Dec +34 26 14)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7333 (= GC 6070, Schultz (#9, Nova IX), 1860 RA 22 30 48, NPD 56 17.3) is "very faint, very small, preceding (west of) h 2174", (JH) 2174 being NGC 7335.
Observational Note: In the NGC notes Dreyer states "Not noticed at Birr nor by Tempel, nor does it occur in an Armagh observation of 1886." This is understandable, since all the observers involved would have been looking for a nebulous object, so this double star wouldn't have drawn any attention.

Two nights later Stoney measured the position of the "knots" near that galaxy, which were labeled with various letters in their notes and in sketches of the region. Whether Rosse was present when Stoney measured the positions isn't clear, but he was present when they were first observed, so both of them are credited in the four entries involved (NGC 7335, 7336, 7337 and 7340).
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 1.15 by 0.6 arcmin (from the images below).

NGC 7336 (= PGC 69337)
Discovered (Sep 10, 1849) by
George Stoney
Also observed (Sep 10, 1849) by William Parsons, 3rd Lord Rosse
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SB(rs)b?) in Pegasus (RA 22 37 21.9, Dec +34 28 54)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7336 (= GC 4816, 3rd Lord Rosse, 1860 RA 22 30 59, NPD 56 14.8) is "extremely faint, very small (C)," the parenthetic note indicating that this was labeled C in a sketch of the region observed by the 3rd Lord Rosse and his assistant, George Stoney.
Discovery Notes: Although Dreyer credits the discovery to William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, he notes that many of Rosse's nebular discoveries were actually made by one of his assistants, in this case George Stoney; but Lord Rosse was also present on the night in question, and also observed the object, as noted above.

Discovered (Sep 10, 1849) by
George Stoney
Also observed (Sep 10, 1849) by William Parsons, 3rd Lord Rosse
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SB(rs)b?) in Pegasus (RA 22 37 26.6, Dec +34 22 27)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7337 (= GC 4817, 3rd Lord Rosse, 1860 RA 22 31 03, NPD 56 21.2) is "extremely faint, small, stellar (E)," the parenthetic comment indicating that this was labeled E in a sketch of the region observed by the 3rd Lord Rosse and his assistant, George Stoney.
Discovery Notes: Although Dreyer credits the discovery to William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse, he notes that many of Rosse's nebular discoveries were actually made by one of his assistants, in this case George Stoney; but Lord Rosse was also present on the night in question, and also observed the object, as noted above.
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 1.3 by 1.2 arcmin (from the images below).

NGC 7338
Recorded (1882) by
Wilhelm Tempel
A magnitude 14.6 and 16.4 pair of stars in Pegasus (RA 22 37 31.3, Dec +34 24 50)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7338 (Tempel list V, 1860 RA 22 31 03, NPD 56 18) is "extremely faint, extremely small, south-following (southeast of) h 2174," (JH) 2174 being NGC 7335.
Warning About Misidentification: Steinicke lists NGC 7338 as a star at RA 22 36 46.8, Dec +34 27 47, but that is west of NGC 7331, while Tempel stated his nova was southeast of NGC 7335, so Steinicke's identification must be wrong; but some references are bound to use the incorrect identification (as did this entry until I referred to Dreyer's and Corwin's notes on the subject).

NGC 7343 (= PGC 69391)
Discovered (Sep 14, 1866) by
Truman Safford
Discovered (Sep 26, 1876) by Édouard Stephan
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type SB(rs)bc?) in Pegasus (RA 22 38 37.9, Dec +34 04 17)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7343 (= GC 6072, Stephan list VIII (#23), (Safford 53), 1860 RA 22 32 13, NPD 56 39.4) is "extremely faint, very small, round, a little brighter middle, small (faint) star involved."
Discovery Notes: Safford's observations were not published until long after the fact, so Dreyer didn't become aware of them until he was in the last stages of preparing the publication of the NGC. As a result they were only mentioned in an appendix, and none of the individual NGC entries gave Safford credit for his observations (hence the inclusion of his name in parentheses).
Physical Information: Apparent size of about 0.95 by 0.7 arcmin (from the images below).

NGC 7349 (= PGC 69488)
Discovered (1886) by
Frank Muller
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type (R)SBbc? pec) in Aquarius (RA 22 41 14.7, Dec -21 47 46)
Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, NGC 7349 (Muller list II (#469), 1860 RA 22 33 52, NPD 113 37.3) is "extremely faint, very small, extended 175°, binuclear, brighter on north side."
Physical Information: Apparent size Based on a recessional velocity of 4480 km/sec, NGC 7349 is about 210 million light years away, about 35 million light years beyond redshift-independent distance estimates of about 175 million light years. Presuming an intermediate distance of about 200 million light years, its apparent size of about 1.0 by 0.3 arcmin (from the images below) corresponds to about 60 thousand light years.
