List of galaxies

The following table presents a list of the brightest galaxies to an apparent magnitude of about 10.4 likes represents the first two columns refer to the Messier and NGC catalog numbers, the third column to the constellation in which to find the galaxy is the fourth on the apparent visual magnitude. The following columns contain the angular extent on the sky and the angular coordinates. The morphological type according to the Hubble diagram describes what type of galaxy ( S = spiral galaxy, E = elliptical galaxy, Irr = irregular galaxy and special cases ) it is in detail. Finally, the proper name, the distance in millions of light years, and the galaxy group to which the individual galaxy counts listed.
