Column 1: The standard catalog name(s) of the galaxy.
Column 2: Right Ascension of the galaxy for epoch 2000.
Column 3: Declination of the galaxy for epoch 2000.
Column 4: Supergalactic longitude.
Column 5: Supergalactic latitude.
Column 6: The galaxy type. E=Elliptical; S0=Lenticular; Sa,Sb,Sc,Sd=Spiral;
SBa,SBb,SBc,SBd=Barred Spiral; Sm,SBm,Irr=Irregular.
Column 7: The blue apparent magnitude of the galaxy.
Column 8: The angular diameter of the galaxy in arcminutes.
Column 9: The orientation of the galaxy in the sky. full=the galaxy is face-on;
3/4=the galaxy is slightly turned away from us; 1/2=the galaxy is half turned away;
1/4=the galaxy is nearly edge-on; edge=the galaxy is edge-on.
Column 10: The diameter of the galaxy in thousands of light years calculated using the
angular diameter and the distance.
Column 11: The distance to the galaxy in millions of light years.
Column 12: The method used to get the distance: C=cepheid distance, P=photometric distance,
N=planetary nebula luminosity function, G=globular cluster luminosity function,
S=surface brightness fluctuations, V=estimate from the galaxy's recessional velocity.
Column 13: Constellation in which the galaxy lies.
