NGC 811 is an object in the New General Catalogue. It is an elliptical galaxy located in the constellation Cetus about 700 million light-years from the Milky Way.[3] It was discovered by the American astronomer Francis Leavenworth in 1886.[4][5] However, it is usually misidentified as a different object, the spiral galaxy PGC 7905.[6]
