		NGC 147 was discovered by John Herschel in 1829; he numbered it h 29 in his catalog of 1833, and GC 72 in his General Catalogue of 1864.
		NGC 147 was recognized as a Local Group member galaxy, together with its neighbor NGC 185, by Walter Baade (1944), when he resolved them into stars with the 100-inch reflector on Mt. Wilson.

		NGC 185 is a 9.2 magnitude satellite galaxy of the great Andromeda galaxy, M31.
		It is located in Cassiopeia about 1 degrees east of NGC 147, another satellite of M31.
		NGC 185 has a slightly higher surface brightness than nearby NGC 147--22.9 magnitudes per square arc second compared to 23.0 magnitudes per square arc second--which makes for a somewhat better view.

		NCG 147 is quite a challenge for an amateur to photograph, as its surface brightness is very low.
		NGC 147 is a member of the local group of galaxies and is actually a companion of the Andromeda Galaxy M31.
		Another galaxy near by in the sky is NGC 185.

		NGC 5195, at magnitude 9.6, is easily seen just a few arc minutes to the north of its spectacular face-on spiral parent.
		M32, or NGC 221, is an elliptical galaxy that shines at magnitude 8.1.
		NGCs 147 and 185 lie about seven degrees to the north, so most observers don’t realize that they are gravitationally bound companions to M31.

	THE INFINITE UNIVERSE Chapter 5-4
		NGC 7603 (z = 0.029) and its companion NGC 7603B (object 1, z = 0.057) are apparently connected by a luminous filament.
		NGC 7603B (object 1) may originate from a hydrogen deficient galaxy or g-galaxy that may have been fuelled (and may still be fuelled: the luminous filament) with gas from NGC 7603.
		Thus NGC 7603B may be a “ball” of dark matter objects that has shrunk very much and so it may not be a coincidence that NGC 7603B is smaller than NGC 7603 and (appears to be) more spherical (because it is in a further “shrunk” state, see also 4-3).

		I started with NGC 247, three degrees south and one east of beta Ceti, because I had seen it in my Celestron 14 lately, to take advantage of the familiar field in ferreting out objects at the top of the Silicon Valley light wall.
		The large planetary nebula, NGC 246, was north a ways, in darker sky, thus much easier than the first three objects.
		NGC 278 was difficult, and I had already looked at NGC 205 -- that's M110.

	Seasonal Excerpt from The Deep Sky: An Introduction
		NGC 7789 is famous for being one of the densest open clusters north of the celestial equator.
		NGC 147 and NGC 185, mentioned earlier as two of the Andromeda Galaxy's companion systems, are found within 1° of each other, but about 7° north of M31 over the border in Cassiopeia.
		NGC 281 may be found by first aiming your telescope at Schedar (Alpha Cassiopeiae) and then letting the sky drift across the eyepiece field for 16 minutes.

		Starting at beta Andromedae (Mirach) I again found NGC 404 easily, with no effort whatsoever required to track it down - it literally jumped right out at me. M31 itself was spread out in all its grandeur, with dust lanes faintly, yet distinctly visible, and M32 and NGC 205 (M110) beautifully framing this great giant.
		NGC 147 was even more difficult, and after having identified what I was sure was the field where it was, I had to wait for a while for it to register in my brain, but eventualy, a faint glow became apparent, and I knew I had it.
		Going back to NGC's 185 and 147 to burn them deeper into my brain, I was hopping back and forth between the two when suddenly, the field of view went blank.

		NGC 157 was a faint oval about 3 by 2 arcmin with no bright core.
		I had tried NGC 247 last night within the Denver light dome and was unsuccessful.
		They were both much fainter than last time, and I do not even consider NGC 147 detected for sure this time.

		There are four satellite galaxies in its proximity, viz., M 32 - NGC 221, situated 0.4 deg to the south, M 110 - NGC 205, situated 0.6 deg to NW, and NGC 185 and NGC 147, situated in Cassiopeia.

		One of the major "projects" for the night was to see two more satellite galaxies of M31; NGC 185 and NGC 147.
		NGC 185 is part of the RASC Observers Handbook "Finest NGC Objects" so I didn't expect it to be very difficult and it wasn't.
		NGC 147 was a little tougher, but clearly there.

	NGC 185
		A first photograph of NGC 185 was obtained by James Edward Keeler with the Crossley Reflector of Lick Observatory between 1898 and 1900.
		From this image, evidence was found that NGC 185 actually contains young stellar clusters, which had been thought to be luminous, blue stars, by their discoverer Walter Baade.
		According to research of these images, star formation proceeded at a low rate until the recent past, the age of the most recent traces of star formation activity detected in the galaxy being some 100 million years.

		(NGC 147):......the true diameter may be about 4,400 light years across the longer dimension.
		The total luminosity is only about 6 million times that of the Sun, which places this dwarf system among the intrinsically faintest galaxies known.

		The proposed IRAC (3.6-8 micron) and MIPS (24, 70 and 160 micron) observations of NGC 185, NGC 147 and M32 will trace simultaneously the distribution of the dust and the old stellar population.
		For NGC 205, for which we have GTO MIPS observations, we will obtain new IRAC maps, 16 micron IRS peakup imaging and deeper MIPS photometric observations.
		In the case of NGC 205 and NGC 185, where dust emission has already been detected, current (NGC 205) and proposed (NGC 185) observations will be supplemented by IRS spectroscopy (5.2 to 38 micron) of the dust clouds.

	M110 (NGC 205)
		Previously described as a dwarf elliptical of type E5 or E6 in Hubble’s classification, M110 is now more often classed as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy.
		However, as it is much brighter than typical dwarf spheroids, Sidney van dan Bergh recently introduced the term “spheroidal galaxy” to describe it and similar systems, including other Local Group members NGC 147 and NGC 185.
		Despite its small mass, of some 10 billion solar masses, M110 has a halo containing eight globular clusters – the brightest of them, G73, within reach of large amateur telescopes.

		NGC 147 and NGC 185 are faint satellite elipticals in CAS.
