Description

(added new data)

These two nice galaxy clusters Stephan's Quintett (on the right) and Deer Lick Group with NGC7333 (on the left) in Pegasus contain galaxies that are between 35 and 300 million light years away from us.

The little "propeller" at 7o'clock is the galaxy NGC 7343 that is about 390 million light years away.

The galaxies in Stephan's Quintett are interacting gravitationally about 40 million light years from earth while the galaxies in the other group only appear top be near to each other.

75 x 300s @ ISO 800 and 75 x 180 s @ ISO 1600 with Pentax K3ii and TS 130/910mm refractor.
