NGC 1, also occasionally referred to as GC 1, UGC 57, PGC 564 or Holm 2a is an intermediate spiral galaxy of the morphological type Sbc,[1] located approximately 210 to 215 million light-years from the Solar System in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered on 30 September 1861 by Heinrich d'Arrest.[4]
NGC 1 was first observed by Heinrich d'Arrest in 1860 while testing the 11 inch refractor telescope of the Copenhagen Observatory. The discovery of the galaxy also doubles as Arrest's first deep sky discovery. He described his discovery as "faint, small, round, between 11th and 14th magnitude stars" (to the north and south).[4] Herman Schultz also observed NGC 1 three times in 1866 and 1868 using a 9.6 inch refractor telescope at Upsala.[5]

That was my thought. Outdoor rat trap.
Love it.

Crossed over and kept the NGC attribution?
