The New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (abbreviated as NGC) is a catalogue of deep-sky objects compiled by John Louis Emil Dreyer in 1888. The NGC contains 7,840 objects, known as the NGC objects. It is one of the largest comprehensive catalogues, as it includes all types of deep space objects, including galaxies, star clusters, emission nebulae and absorption nebulae.

NGC 7177
NGC 7177 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 801±24 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 38.6 ± 2.9 Mly (11.82 ± 0.90 Mpc). However, 12 non-redshift measurements give a much farther distance of 86.49 ± 10.33 Mly (26.517 ± 3.166 Mpc). It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 15 October 1784. The SIMBAD database lists NGC 7177 as a LINER galaxy, i.e. a galaxy whose nucleus has an emission spectrum characterized by broad lines of weakly ionized atoms.
