These are faint galaxies located 4.6 degrees northwest of β Pegasi. The blurred spiral galaxy in the lower right of the picture is NGC7407, which is about 2 arc minutes in size. Many galaxies are scattered just to the northeast of this galaxy, and they are thought to constitute a galaxy group. The distance to NGC7407 is about 300 million light years.
