The Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies(MCG)[1] or Morfologiceskij Katalog Galaktik, is a Russian catalogue of 30,642 galaxies compiled by Boris Vorontsov-Velyaminov and V. P. Arkhipova. It is based on scrutiny of prints of the Palomar Sky Survey plates, and putatively complete to a photographic magnitude of 15. Including galaxies to magnitude 16 would have resulted in an unmanageably large dataset.

MCG+01-02-015 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Pisces. It is an example of a void galaxy, and noted to be one of the loneliest galaxies spotted, with no other galaxy around 100 million light-years in all directions. mcg +07-07-015 or NGC1161 is a lenticular galaxy approximately 90 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Perseus. It was discovered, along with NGC 1160, by English astronomer William Herschel on October 7, 1784.
