PGC 21039 (= NGC 2276 = CGCG 362-042)
(also = Arp 25, and with NGC 2300 = Arp 114)
A magnitude 11.4 spiral galaxy (type SAB(rs)c) in Cepheus (RA 07 27 14.1, Dec +85 45 16)
For anything else see NGC 2276
PGC 21067 (= CGCG 386-020 = UGC 3855)
A magnitude 13.5(?) spiral galaxy (type S(rs)ab? pec) in Lynx (RA 07 28 13.0, Dec +58 30 24)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation of 3235 km/sec (and H0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), PGC 21067 is about 150 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of about 95 to 150 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of about 2.05 by 0.45 arcmin (from the images below), the galaxy is about 90 thousand light years across.

PGC 21195 (= CGCG 286-024 = UGC 3885)
A magnitude 14(?) spiral galaxy (type S(sr)c?) in Lynx (RA 07 31 07.0, Dec +59 28 54)
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation of 3875 km/sec (and H0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), PGC 21195 is about 180 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of about 1.05 by 0.85 arcmin (from the images below), the galaxy is about 55 thousand light years across.
