NGC 1168 is an intermediate spiral galaxy located in the constellation Aries. It was discovered by the astronomer Albert Marth on October 1, 1864.

Characteristics

NGC 1168 is classified as an SABb, indicating it has features between barred and unbarred spiral galaxies. It has an apparent magnitude of 15.4 in the B-band, making it relatively faint and requiring a telescope with at least a 20-inch (500 mm) aperture for observation. The galaxy spans approximately 0.98 × 0.38 arcminutes in the sky.

Observation

Due to its faintness, NGC 1168 is not visible to the naked eye and requires specialized equipment for observation. It is receding from the Milky Way at a velocity of about 7,728 km/s.
