Has anybody seen these? I tried to spot them on 12/31, but with no success. I even ran a Google search on the name and it came up with nothing. -------------------- 12.5" Obsession w/ArgoNavis Orion 120mm SkyView Pro Refractor w/Intelliscope Push-To System TrueTrack Drive Post Extras:       walt r Post Laureate Reged: 02/13/07 Posts: 3459 Loc: Doylestown, PA Re: "Deerlick Neighborhood" [Re: rtroxel]       #2089499 - 01/02/08 10:21 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Yes I have, at a semi-dark site (limiting mag 5) and my 18". The smaller galaxies above NGC7331 in the photo are also know as the 'fleas'. Their numbers are: NGC7335, 7336, 7337 & 7340. The group at the lower left in the photo are know as Stephen's Quintet. I could not see this group, a much darker sky is required. Try 'Deerlick group' for your goggle search, I came up with many hits. good luck and clear skies -------------------- Walt Obsession 18" f/4.45 #1370 AN/SC MK67 Deluxe 6" f/12 Mak-Cass, Super Polaris GEM, JMI MicroMax DSC DIY 60mm f/6 Achromat Cookbook 245 CCD Post Extras:       rtroxel super member Reged: 08/14/06 Posts: 103 Loc: Abingdon, Maryland Re: "Deerlick Neighborhood" [Re: walt r]       #2089588 - 01/02/08 10:59 AM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   Okay... I ran a Google search on 'Deerlick group' and came up with these galaxies: NGC7340, NGC7337, NGC7335, NGC7336, NGC7331, NGC3727& NGC 7326. Photos are on these pages: http://www.saratogaskies.com/image.pl?i=52 http://www.cosmotography.com/images/small_new_ngc7331.html Many thanks!
