Correct name of this galaxy[edit]
Some Wikipedias use for this galaxy the names "NGC 7415-1" or "NGC 7415/1" to distinguish this object from another galaxy located West of it. But the principal astronomical databases uses for it the simple name "NGC 7415" without any kind of specification, because the other near galaxy does not have any number in the NGC catalogue! See NED, SIMBAD, HyperLeda. In addition, none of the catalogues listed by VizieR (Q1662358) uses names likes "NGC 7415-1" (see here) or "NGC 7415/1" (see here)!
