is an low surface brightness irregular dwarf spheroidal galaxy shining at magnitude 13.9, it is located
about 2.7 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. It was discovered by A. G. Wilson in the 1950s.
The Pegasus Dwarf is a member of the Local Group of Galaxies and a distant (gravitation-ally bound) satellite galaxy of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). The Pegasus Dwarf’s diameter is 26,092 Light years, and apparent visual size is 6.0 arc min x 2.7 arc min.
I was pleasantly surprised to see I captured all the(fainter 16th to 19th magnitude) background PGC & UGC, galaxies in this field of view.
