Observation
NGC 7832 is described as very faint, very small, and round, with a significantly brighter nucleus. It lacks the spiral arms or dust lanes typical of spiral galaxies, appearing instead as an elongated orb. It measures approximately 1.68 arcminutes along its major axis and 0.38 arcminutes along its minor axis. With an apparent magnitude of approximately 13.2, it is a relatively faint object that typically requires a large-aperture telescope.
Physical characteristics NGC 7832 is classified as an elliptical galaxy, lacking spiral arms or prominent dust lanes. This galaxy has a measured redshift of 0.020838 and a heliocentric radial velocity of 6,247 km/s.
