OVERVIEW

] GALAXY

IC0700 NED01 is an irregular galaxy I in the constellation Leo, 81.61 from Earth, shining at apparent magnitude 16.31 (). It is catalogued as MCG +04-27-047 NED01, PGC 35380 and SDSS J112914.15+203451.9, among 6 designations in total.

The light arriving now left it that long ago.

HOW BIG ON THE SKY

Small enough that the full Moon would cover it several times over.

HOW BRIGHT (B)

Faint: it takes a large telescope.

Fainter than the largest telescope modelled here reaches. IC0700 NED01 covers 12″ of sky against a of 1.08°, so at 48× it is a speck in a wide field.

IC0700 NED01 is not a point of light, so the limit above is the wrong one to hold it against: the same brightness spread over 12″ of sky is harder than a star of it, and goes first — spread out, it comes to 21.2 . Catalogued sizes are measured to a photographic contour, and the part an eye sees is usually smaller.

APPARENT PLACE

] EQUINOX J2026.7

Where a telescope has to be pointed today, which is not quite where the catalogue records the object: the coordinate grid itself has turned since the year 2000 the catalogue is referred to.

RIGHT ASCENSION
DECLINATION
GRID TURNED SINCE
21.7
PROPER MOTION SINCE
none published

Computed for 2026-08-27 00:00 UT. No proper motion is published for IC0700 NED01, so nothing here moves the object; what separates this from the catalogued position above is the coordinate grid turning under it — about fifty arcseconds a year of precession since 2000, and the small nodding of the Earth’s axis on top of that. Aberration and refraction are not included, and neither is parallax; each is under an arcminute, which is also about as well as the catalogued position is known. The same figure for any date.

CATALOG DATA

] 10 FIELDS

The raw catalogue values, as the source published them, with the error bars where one was published — sorted by what each set of figures is about rather than by the order they happened to be stored in.

WHAT KIND OF THING IT IS

What the object is in itself, rather than how it happens to look from here.

Hubble type

HOW BRIGHT IT IS

What the light adds up to, measured through one filter at a time. A magnitude is a brightness on a backwards scale — the smaller the number, the brighter the object.

Each link carries the identifier printed beside it. Nothing on this page is a measurement of our own, so a number that disagrees with one of these is worth reporting — and a service that has never catalogued this object under this name will say so plainly.

This page is live and its numbers move when an upstream refreshes, so the citation names the release the rows belong to rather than the day you read them. The release itself is frozen, republished as a bundle, and is what a data-availability statement should point at.
