Description

Who doesn't like a beautiful cluster of galaxies? Stephan's Quintet, most of them located 200-300 million light years away and gravitationally interacting, are a highlight of Autumn skies. Situated just above the western side of Pegasus's Great Square, these five systems are not far in the sky from another collection of galactic wonders, the Deer Lick Group, dominated by NGC-7331.
