NGC 7771  and friends, Pegasus


NGC 7771 in Pegasus is the 12.3 mag galaxy center left showing a somewhat edgeon appearance.  Several other neat looking and  contrasting galaxies are in the field. To the right the large galaxy is NGC7769, mag 12.8, which show a faint outer spiral.  Just below 7771 is NGC 7770 a odd looking 14.4 mag SO/a type galaxy.  Center is MAC 2351+2009 mag 16.5  which looks somewhat edge on and above center is MAC 2351+2006 another 16.5 spiral.  Along the top is CGCG 455-55 at 15.8 mag SBc type spiral.  There are also a few other very faint un-named galaxies.
