NGC 530, also known as IC 106, is a lenticular galaxy in the constellation Cetus. It is approximately 226 million light years from the Milky Way and has a diameter of around 140,000 light years. The object was discovered on November 20, 1886, by the American astronomer Lewis A. Swift, who listed it as NGC 530, and rediscovered on November 16, 1887, by Guillaume Bigourdan, who listed it as IC 106. It is a member of the Abell 194 galaxy cluster.

NGC 530 group

NGC 530 is a member the NGC 530 group (also known as LGG 22), which contains at least 3 galaxies, including NGC 535, NGC 558 and NGC 530.
