Lassell discovered 4 NGC-objects. The first was NGC 3121, a
galaxy in Leo, found with his 24" reflector at Starfield
Observatory near Liverpool (see AN #635). The object is contained as #26 in
Arthur Auwers' list of new nebulae; see: William
Herschel's Verzeichnisse von Nebelflecken und Sternhaufen, Königsberg
1862. The 2nd object is NGC 7285, a galaxy in Aquarius, discovered in 1862 with the 48"
on
Malta. It is unknown, why it is not in the Malta catalogue. The 3nd object
is the galaxy NGC 2620 in Cancer. The last object is the galaxy NGC 7489 in
Pegasus.
