Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was move all. Extraordinary Machine 13:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Irregular Galaxy NGC 55 to NGC 55
- Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy NGC 185 to NGC 185
- Open Cluster NGC 225 to NGC 225
- Spiral Galaxy NGC 7320 to NGC 7320
- These go against the typical Wikipedia convention to disambiguate articles by using parentheses after the article name, and discussion on WikiProject Astronomical objects has come to the view that the format should be NGC #. The destination pages are redirects with more than one item in the history. Chaos syndrome 21:20, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wide field image needed

With NGCs 147 and 185 accepted as companions of M31 (Andromeda Galaxy), we need a wide field photo that captures all three galaxies in the one image, to show their relative sizes and positions. This comment placed in talk for both NGCs 147 and 185. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E422:3C01:FD20:81AE:225A:3F4 (talk) 08:52, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bit more description needed.

This is from the description of NGC 147:

It forms a physical pair with the nearby galaxy NGC 185,[5] another remote satellite of M31. It was discovered by John Herschel in September 1829. Visually it is both fainter and slightly larger than NGC 185 (and therefore has a considerably lower surface brightness). This means that NGC 147 is more difficult to see than NGC 185, which is visible in small telescopes

This should be modified to reflect the data for THIS galaxy (185) and added into the corresponding location. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E422:3C01:FD20:81AE:225A:3F4 (talk) 08:56, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
