This image shows you a small galactic pair floating around 1.3 degrees northwest from gamma Psc, forming a western fish of Pisces. A larger one with 3.5 arc minutes in long is NGC7541, and snuggling minor galaxy has a number of NGC7537. Both are typical edge-on galaxies, especially you can recognize irregular structures in NGC7541. But they have been classified in a bit warped spiral galaxies.
