NGC 7177. - The central regions of this galaxy are similar to NGC 175, classified by
Sandage (1961)
as SBa(s). The "bar" of NGC 7177 is
oriented in a nearly north-south direction while the major axis
defined by the fainter outer spiral is nearly east-west. The
H
photograph has several emission regions in the southern part of the
central region near the end of the inner bar. Several fainter HII
regions are detected in the outer arm segment of the galaxy. Because
of the low surface brightness of the outer tightly wound spiral
segments, dust is very difficult to identify in this region.
