NGC 7231 is a Barred Spiral Galaxy in the Lacerta constellation. NGC 7231 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 14, NGC 7231 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 14 inches (350mm) or more.

NGC 7231 is a Barred Spiral Galaxy located in the constellation of Lacerta in the northern hemisphere. NGC 7231's distance from Earth is 46,966,518.39 light years. NGC 7231 is called NGC 7231 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

From Virginia Beach , NGC7231 is visible all night. It will become visible at around 20:25 (EDT), 48° above your north-eastern horizon, as dusk fades to darkness. It will then reach its highest point in the sky at 00:09, 81° above your northern horizon. It will be lost to dawn twilight at around 05:34, 30° above your north-western horizon.

Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation of 795 km/sec (and H 0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), NGC 7231 is about 35 to 40 million light-years away, a little closer than redshift-independent distance estimates of about 45 to 50 million light-years. For galaxies at very large distances, the ...

It is home to the open clusters NGC 7243 and NGC 7209, as well as the variable object BL Lac, the prototypical example of a blazar. Varying between magnitude 14 and 17, however, BL Lac is extremely faint and can only been seen through the largest amateur telescopes.

===== NGC 7231 17.5" (8/8/91): faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 E-W, unconcentrated glow. Two mag 14 stars are off the south edge. Located 15' SW of mag 5.5 SAO 51783 just off the edge of the field. This object appears as an unresolved patch in a rich Milky Way field (ZOA galaxy) as it is located just 9¡ from the galactic equator.
