NGC 7753 and NGC 7752 (also Arp 86) are a pair of galaxies approximately 272 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. NGC 7753 is the primary galaxy. It is a barred spiral galaxy with a small nucleus. NGC 7752 is the satellite galaxy of NGC 7753. They resemble the Whirlpool Galaxy M51 and its satellite.
Like in my recent picture of  NGC 6951 also  here the background is not homogeneous because of presence of the integrated flux nebula (IFN),  illuminated not by a single star, but by the (integrated !) energy from the flux of all the stars in the Milky Way.  (wiki)
Later I also noticed that in May 2025 a Ia type supernova SN 2025kyg was observed in NGC 7753. Comparison of my picture with some older ones on internet showed that the supernova (marked with an arrow below) is still nicely visible !
