NGC 7329 is a large barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Tucana.[1] NGC 7329 was discovered by British astronomer John Herschel in 1835.[2]

The luminosity class of NGC 7329 is II and it has a broad HI line. To date, 29 non-redshift measurements yield a distance of 44.662 ± 5.536 Mpc (~146 million ly),[3] which is within the Hubble distance range. Note that it is with the average value of independent measurements, when they exist, that the NASA/IPAC database calculates the diameter of a galaxy.[4]
