Based on a recessional velocity of 5245 km/sec, NGC 7700 is about 245 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 2.0 by 0.4 arcmins, it is about 140 thousand light years across. Since it and NGC 7701 are about the same distance from us, they may be a gravitationally bound pair. (Note: Wikisky incorrectly labels NGC 7700 as NGC 7701, and vice-versa. The images on this page are correctly labeled.)

Based on a recessional velocity of 5335 km/sec, NGC 7701 is about 250 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 0.8 by 0.5 arcmins, it is about 60 thousand light years across. Since it and NGC 7700 are about the same distance from us, they may be a gravitationally bound pair. (Note: Wikisky incorrectly labels NGC 7701 as NGC 7700, and vice-versa. The images on this page are correctly labeled.)

Apparent size about 2.3 by 1.2 arcmin.

Apparent size about 2.2 by 0.5 arcmin.

Apparent size about 1.1 by 0.9 arcmin.

Apparent size about 0.6 by 0.5 arcmin.

Per Dreyer, NGC 7707 (= John Herschel's GC 4988, 1860 RA 23 28 03, NPD 85 48.9) is "very faint, pretty small, 18th-magnitude star close to the south, northeast of 2". The "northeast of 2" undoubtedly refers to its position relative to NGC 7704, which lies only a few arcmin to the southwest. The position precesses to RA 23 35 10.4, Dec +04 57 31, about 0.4 arcmin west of the center of the galaxy, but well within its outer limits, so the identification would be certain, even without the reference to NGC 7704. Based on a recessional velocity of 5635 km/sec, NGC 7706 is about 260 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.2 by 1.0 arcmin, it is about 90 thousand light years across. Listed in NED as a group member (WBL 718-003), along with NGC 7704, which as suggested by the wide-field image below, is probably gravitationally interacting with NGC 7706.

Apparent size about 1.3 by 1.1 arcmin.

About 30 arcmin across?

The second IC adds (per Bigourdan and Howe) "RA is 23 28 10, much extended 225 degrees". Apparent size about 2.3 by 0.6 arcmin.

Apparent size about 1.2 by 0.5 arcmin.

Apparent size about 2.6 by 1.3 arcmin.

Apparent size about 0.9 by 0.8 arcmin.

The second IC says "In NPD for 13 arcmin read 43 arcmin. Misprint in the GC".
     Based on a recessional velocity of 690 km/sec, NGC 7713 should be about 32 million light years away. For such close objects peculiar (non-Hubble expansion) velocities are often a substantial part of their radial velocity, but in this case the value is in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 27 to 40 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 4.5 by 1.8 arcmin, the galaxy is about 40 thousand light years across.

Based on a recessional velocity of 3010 km/sec, PGC 71910 is about 140 million light years away. Given that and its apparent size of 1.8 by 1.4 arcmin, it is about 75 thousand light years across. Although in the same part of the sky as NGC 7713, its much greater distance means that PGC 71910 has no relationship to its namesake.

NGC 7714 is a starburst galaxy, with extended arms consisting of clouds of gas and stars flung into space by its interaction with NGC 7715. Based on a recessional velocity of 2800 km/sec, it is about 130 million light years away, in reasonable agreement with a redshift-independent distance estimate of 120 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of about 1.9 by 1.4, it is about 70 thousand light years across (this does not include the extended arms, which cover 2.4 arcmin, or about 90 thousand light years). NGC 7715 is probably a spiral galaxy which passed close to NGC 7714, stripping away a considerable portion of its original gas and stars, and severely distorting both galaxies; if the near-miss had been a more direct collision, NGC 7714 would probably have ended up as a "ring" galaxy.

Based on its 2770 km/sec recessional velocity, NGC 7715 is about 130 million light years away, in reasonable agreement with a redshift-independent distance estimate of 120 million light years, and (as must be the case) the same distance as its obvious companion, NGC 7714. Given that and its apparent size of about 2.7 by 0.4 arcmin, it is about 100 thousand light years across. NGC 7715 is probably a spiral galaxy which passed close to NGC 7714, stripping away a considerable portion of its original gas and stars, and distorting both galaxies; if the near-miss had been a more direct collision, NGC 7714 would probably have ended up as a "ring" galaxy.

Apparent size about 2.2 by 1.8 arcmin.

Apparent size about 1.4 by 1.2 arcmin.

Apparent size about 0.9 by 0.6 arcmin.

The second IC lists a corrected RA (per Howe) of 23 30 43. Apparent size about 0.9 by 0.7 arcmin. Apparently accompanied by a 16th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type S?) of apparent size 0.2 by 0.1 arcmin, about 0.2 arcmin south of the center of NGC 7719 (in other words, the bright blob immediately below it, in the images below).

Apparent size about 1.6 by 1.3 arcmin. Accompanied by an apparent companion (a 15th-magnitude compact galaxy (type C) at RA 23 38 29.5, Dec +27 02 05, apparent size 0.2 by 0.2 arcmin). Located in a rich cluster of galaxies, which fill the region surrounding it.

Based on a recessional velocity of 2015 km/sec, NGC 7721 is about 95 million light years away, in good agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 60 to 90 million light years. Given that and its apparent size of 3.5 by 1.4 arcmins, it is about 95 thousand light years across.

Apparent size about 1.7 by 1.4 arcmin.

Apparent size about 3.5 by 2.2 arcmin.

Apparent size about 1.5 by 1.0 arcmin.

Apparent size about 0.8 by 0.7 arcmin.

Apparent size about 1.5 by 0.6 arcmin. (The NGC identification is apparently a bit controversial. As a result, a Wikisky search for NGC 7726 incorrectly shows a faint spiral galaxy just to the east of NGC 7720 (which, whatever it should be called, is not NGC 7726); a search for PGC 72024 shows the correct PGC object, although whether that is NGC 7726 is somewhat uncertain.)

Apparent size about 4.5 by 3.5 arcmin (not counting the outer arms, which cover nearly 6 arcmin). Apparently two interacting spiral galaxies, which collided about a billion years ago (based on the age of star clusters formed in the collision) and should "soon" (after another billion years or so) settle down to what appears to be a single galaxy.

Apparent size about 1.0 by 0.8 arcmin.

Apparent size about 1.8 by 0.6 arcmin.

The second IC notes "Not found by Howe (2 nights). The place of this object was communicated to me by Tempel in 1876, though with the RA marked ±". Apparent size about 0.7 by 0.6 arcmin.

Apparent size about 1.4 by 1.1 arcmin. Part of a physical pair with NGC 7732.

Apparent size about 2.0 by 0.6 arcmin. Part of a physical pair with NGC 7731.

Apparent size about 1.3 by 0.8 arcmin. A Seyfert galaxy (type Sy2), presumably due to its gravitational interaction with NGC 7734.

Apparent size about 1.4 by 1.2 arcmin. Physically interacting with NGC 7733, which see for images.

Apparent size about 1.3 by 0.9 arcmin.
