On this page I collect my observations of the elliptic dwarf galaxies NGC 185 and NGC 147 in the constellation Cassiopeia.

Introduction

The elliptic dwarf galaxies NGC 185 and NGC 147 are located in the constellation Cassiopeia. They are gravitationally connected (about 50' distant), are satellite galaxies of the Andromeda Galaxy M 31, and belong to the Local Group.
