This picture has captured a galactic cluster lying on the boundary line between Pegasus and Pisces, it's called "The Pegasus I Cluster". An elliptic galaxy in central left hand side is NGC7626, and another one in right has a number of NGC7619. And you can see several minor but various shaped member galaxies outskirts. The distance to this galaxy cluster has been estimated about 170 millions light years.
