NGC 7463 - LRGB
NGC 7463 (UGC 12316, PGC 70291 and others) is the spiral galaxy at the center of the field, located approximately 75 million light-years away in Pegasus.
NGC 7464 (UGC 12315, PGC 70292 and others) is smaller galaxy companion to NGC 7463. Simbad lists this one as type Ep. Guessing, this might be elliptical peculiar but it looks like a spiral.
NGC 7465 (UGC 12317, PGC 70295 and others) is the galaxy to the left (east) of NGC 7463. This one is classified as a lenticular but it looks more like a barred spiral to me with faint outer arms.
Other galaxies include UGC 12313 (PGC 70285) above the trio and UGC 12321 (PGC 70307) left of the trio near the line of three stars.
Luminance – 25x600s – 250 minutes – binned 1x1
RGB – 8x300s – 40 minutes each – binned 2x2
370 minutes total exposure – 6 hours 10 minutes
Imaged July 25th and 26th and August 2nd, 3rd and 19th, 2025 from Dark Sky New Mexico at Rancho Hidalgo (Animas, New Mexico) with a SBIG STF-8300M on an Astro-Tech AT12RCT at f/8 2432mm.
