NGC 4226 is a Barred Spiral Galaxy in the Canes Venatici constellation. NGC 4226 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. Given its B magnitude of 14.36, NGC 4226 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 14 inches (350mm) or more.

NGC 4226 is a Radio Galaxy located in the constellation of Canes Venatici in the northern hemisphere. NGC 4226's distance from Earth is 388,126,089.46 light years. NGC 4226 is called NGC 4226 in the New General Catalogue (NGC).

NGC 4226 was discovered by John Herschel on 19 March 1828. With an angular extent of about 1.0 x 0.5 arc minutes, it is quite small and is only 14 magnitudes bright. The galaxy appears to have a bar-spiral structure.

NGC 4226 is the other NGC galaxy in the image. It is not a companion of either M 106 or NGC 4217 as it lies some 340 million light-years distant and is part of the LDCE 0877 galaxy group. Thus there are several other galaxies at that distance in my image.

2023年8月14日 · Added Caldwell ID to NGC 4236, and updated and completed the entry. Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 2375 km/sec, NGC 4200 is about 110 million light-years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.5 by 0.9 arcmin, it is about 50 thousand light-years across.

Messier 106 (also known as NGC 4258) is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781. M106 is at a distance of about 22 to 25 million light-years away from Earth.
