File:The loneliest of galaxies.jpg|[[MCG+01-02-015]] is a [[spiral galaxy]] in the constellation [[Pisces (constellation)|Pisces]]. It is an example of a [[void galaxy]], and noted to be one of the loneliest galaxies spotted, with no other galaxy around 100 million light-years in all directions. mcg +07-07-015 or NGC1161 is a lenticular galaxy approximately 90 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Perseus. It was discovered, along with NGC 1160, by English astronomer William Herschel on October 7, 1784. |

Russian catalogue of 30,642 galaxies
The Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies (MCG)[1] or Morfologiceskij Katalog Galaktik, is a Russian catalogue of 30,642 galaxies compiled by Boris Vorontsov-Velyaminov and V. P. Arkhipova. It is based on scrutiny of prints of the Palomar Sky Survey plates, and putatively complete to a photographic magnitude of 15. Including galaxies to magnitude 16 would have resulted in an unmanageably large dataset.
The catalogue was published in five parts (chapters) between 1962 and 1974,[2] the final chapter including a certain number of galaxies with a photographic magnitude above 15.[3]
