NGC 7415 is an early spiral galaxy in Pegasus
NGC 7415 is an early spiral galaxy in the constellation Pegasus . It shines at magnitude 14.0 and spans 49″ × 13″. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in October.
Galaxy: a system of billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, far outside the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies have a disk with arms; elliptical galaxies are smooth, round or oval swarms of older stars.
