This image has captured a small-scaled galaxy group floating at 15 arc minutes southeast of ξ Pegasi that forms the neck of winged horse. Two major galaxies of NGC7385 and NGC7386 are striking, the both have sizes of approx. 2.5 arc minutes and classified as elliptical and lenticular galaxies, respectively. You can detect six member galaxies in a span of 15 arc minutes. The distance has been estimated as 350 million light years.
