NGC name
editThis object is the biggest galaxy of a pair. Some Wikipedias report for them a double NGC name: NGC 322A (or NGC 322-1) and NGC 322B (or NGC 322-2). But a research using NED, HyperLeda, SIMBDAD, and VizieR databases excludes that astronomers use a double name for these galaxies! Also the NGC/IC Project classifies only the biggest object as NGC 322, without double names. So I named NGC 322 the principal galaxy and PGC 95427 the second (see HyperLeda). --Paperoastro (talk) 14:02, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
