The Deer Lick group, Stephan’s Quintet & Co

The Deer Lick group is a visual grouping of galaxies in the constellation Pegasus. Spiral galaxy NGC 7331 is a foreground galaxy in the same field as the collection. It contains four other members, affectionately referred to as the “fleas”: the lenticular or unbarred spirals NGC 7335 and 7336, the barred spiral galaxy NGC 7337 and the elliptical galaxy NGC 7340. On this picture, we can also see the Stephan’s Quintet : a visual grouping of five galaxies of which four form the first compact galaxy group ever discovered.
