The NGC 68 galaxy group is a cluster of at least 40 galaxies around the elliptical galaxy NGC 68. The main group was discovered in 1784 by William Herschel, who listed the galaxies as a single object. Later, in the 1880s, John Louis Emil Dreyer managed to discern the main galaxies and cataloged them each as NGC 68, NGC 70, and NGC 71.[2]

Superimposed on the group is a smaller cluster around 220 mly away, which includes AGC 102760, UGC 152, and UGC 166.
