M110 was discovered by Messier in 1783 when he discovered M31, but it was not included in his catalog at the time. It is located about 2.9 million light-years from Earth. At magnitude 8.5, it can easily be found with binoculars.
M110 = NGC205 ( 0h 40.4m +41°41´, 8.0 mag. )
This dwarf elliptical companion of M31 in Andromeda was discovered by Messier on Aug.

M110 (NGC 205) is another elliptical galaxy, and a larger companion to M31 but much dimmer. It lies about thirty-five arc-minutes NW of M31.
M110 also appears to be interacting with M31, and astronomers have found a stream of metal-rich stars in the halo of M31 that appears to have been stripped from these satellite galaxies.
The Andromeda Galaxy has two satellites: M110 (NGC 205) and M32. M110 is located one degree northwest of M31 and M32 can be found half a degree south of M31. Both are elliptical galaxies.

It is accompanied by at least 10 satellite galaxies, including M32 and M110 (both visible through binoculars), NGC 185 (discovered by William Herschel), NGC 147 (discovered by Louis d'Arrest), the dwarf spheroidal systems And I, And II, And III, ...

Our Local Group belongs to an even larger structure, a supercluster with the rich Virgo cluster of galaxies at its centre, about 70 million light years (about 21 Mpc) away.
Slightly above M31 is M110. This is a spiral galaxy, looking like a smaller version of M31. It stretches more than 1/4 of a degree across and is slightly brighter than M32, at magnitude 8.

It is flanked by two dwarf elliptical companion galaxies (M32 and M110). It is part of the Local Group, a cluster of galaxies to which we (in the Milky Way) belong.
The Andromeda Galaxy can just be seen with the naked eye in the .
Its two brightest companion galaxies are M32 and M110. The light arriving at earth from the Andromeda Galaxy is shifted toward the blue end of the spectrum, whereas the light from all other cosmic sources exhibits red shift.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is accompanied by the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, which are both irregular galaxies visible from the southern hemisphere. The Andromeda Galaxy has two small companion elliptical galaxies, M32 and M110.

Several companion galaxies are also visible, including M32 - a dwarf elliptical directly below the central bulge and just outside the spiral arms - and M110 which is above and to the right of the center.
