  • Édouar Stephan who observed it visually using the 40-cm refractor of the Observatoire de Marseille in 1877.
  • 位于飞马座
  • 视觉上是五重奏,其实应该是4个星系构成的compact group(确定吗?)
NGC 7320 indicates a small redshift (790 km/s) while the other four exhibit large redshifts (near 6600 km/s).
  • 类似的著名compact group还有有Seyfert's Sextet(1948),VV172(chain of five galaxies)
