This interesting galaxy group, known also as Pegasus I group, is located in the constellation of Pegasus near the border to Pisces, some 180 millions light years from Earth. The two elliptical giant galaxies in the center, NGC 7626 and NGC 7619, are rather bright (both about 11.1 mag), but whole group still appears to be a challenge for astrophotography (at least with not very large telescopes).
