This picture captured a compact lenticular galaxy and a galaxy cluster at 3.6 degrees southeast of η Eridani in the northern region of the constellation. NGC1200 has a size of a bit smaller than 3 arc minutes and a brightness of 13th magnitude, has been estimated as 178 million light years away.
A galaxy cluster floating at about 40 arc minutes east of NGC1200 is Abell 415. Although the data of distance is not available, positioned around farther than ten-times of NGC1200. Faint 70-member galaxies has been contained in a span of 20 arc minutes. The brightest member galaxy has a brightness of at most 16.5th magnitude.
