NGC 1527
NGC 1527 is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation of Horologium. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of. Additionally, 10 non-redshift measurements give a mean distance of. It was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop on 28 September 1826.
NGC 1527 has a possible active galactic nucleus, i.e. it has a compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits a significant amount of energy across the electromagnetic spectrum, with characteristics indicating that this luminosity is not produced by the stars.
