NGC 494, also occasionally referred to as PGC 5035 or GC 282, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces.[1] It is located approximately 227 million light-years from Earth and was discovered on 22 November 1827 by astronomer John Herschel.[2] John Dreyer, creator of the New General Catalogue, described the galaxy as "very faint, pretty large, extended, 3 faint stars to south".[3]
