NGC 7331 and Deer Lick Group

2014 Eldorado Star Party

NGC 7331 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus. It is one of the brighter galaxies that is not in Charles Messier's catalog. It is a member of the visual grouping of galaxies called the Deer Lick Group. The other galaxies in the Deer Lick Group are about a tenth the apparent size of NGC 7331 and are about 10 times further away from us than NGC 7331. This grouping is by chance and is unusual to have this many galaxies so close visually that are so far from each other.
