NGC 741 is an elliptical galaxy. It is located in the Pisces (constellation), distant from the Milky Way by around 249 Light-years. It was discovered by the German-British astronomer William Herschel in 1784. This galaxy was also observed by the american astronomer Lewis Swift on the 26 of November 1897 and was written in the New General Catalogue under the designation of IC 1751.
NGC 741 is the most luminous and massive galaxy of a galaxy group it gave its name to, the group of NGC 741 contains one other galaxy, NGC 742, designated 0152+0621 (for CGCG 0152.7+0621)
A number of mesures not based on the redshift give back a distance of 70,667 ±19,103 Mpc [3], which is in the range of the distance calculated by using the value of the shift .
