Description

Located in the Grus Constellation, these 3 spiral galaxies are members of the Grus-quartet. The 4th member of this group is NGC7552, which is not inside  this field of view.
The high starburst activity of  NGC 7552 and NGC 7582 is thought to be a result from an interactions between these members. The distance to the galaxies is estimated to be between 55 and 70 millions light-years.
At the top the galaxy cluster Abell 1111 is dominated by two giant elliptical galaxies : PGC 71042 and PGC 71043.

Data from Telescope Live taken at El Sauce Observatory, Chile, from 2022/08/21 to 2022/09/20.
