NGC 7463, NGC 7464, and NGC 7465
by Vern on Sep.03, 2006, under Astronomy, Deep sky, Galaxy, Galaxy cluster
About a degree north and west of the brightest star in Pegasus, Markab, is a nice galaxy triplet of NGC 7463, 7464, and 7465. NGC 7465 appears to be the brightest of the three and has a bright central core.
Celestron Nexstar11, Meade F3.3 focal reducer, and Astrovid Stellacam II was used to take the image from Louisville, CO on Sept 3, 2006 around 05:57 UT (just before midnight Sept 2). Temperature was 42°F, 77% humidity, sky was clear, transparency was good, and turbulence about 5/10.
