Wide field view of Stephan's Quintet (Hickson Compact Group 92 and NGC
7317-7320), and the Deer Lick Group (NGC 7331 and others) in the constellation
Pegasus. Four of the galaxies in Stephan's Quintet are approximately 300 million light
years distant, with the other galaxy a foreground object at approximately 40 million
light years distance. The Deer Lick Group is also located approximately 40 million
light years from us.
