Deer Lick Group and Stephan’s Quintet in Pegasus

I have been intrigued by Stephan’s Quintet (I like the name too) since I started this hobby. This galaxy group really makes me want to buy a telescope with a much longer focal length. The shapes are so interesting. The fact that you can photograph both these “groups” in one shot also makes them interesting together.

Large galaxy in Deer Lick Group is 40 million ly away.
The galaxies in Stephan’s Quintet range between 280-310 million ly away
