Galaxy

h: “F, R, psbM, 25 arcseconds.”

Sandage (1975, Astrophysical Journal, 202, 563-582) notes that this galaxy is a member of the Telescopium Group. Members include NGC 6851, NGC 6861, NGC 6861D, NGC 6868, NGC 6870, NGC 6875, NGC 6878, NGC 6890, NGC 6893, NGC 6902, NGC 6909 & ESO 285- G 7. G. de Vaucouleurs (“Galaxies and the Universe”, Chapter 14 - Nearby Groups of Galaxies) notes that the five brightest members of the NGC 6861 Group are NGC 6868, NGC 6861, ESO 285- G 7, NGC 6902 & NGC 6893.

Galaxy

h: “pB, S, lE, gmbM, 18 arcseconds long.”

Bergwall et.al. (1978, Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. 33, 243-255) gives this galaxy's B-magnitude in the Johnson system as 13.34. They note that there is an H II region about 18 arcseconds due east of the centre of the galaxy. Photoelectric UBV measurements give V=12.780 for a 44'' diaphragm, V=13.292 for a 22'' diaphragm and V=14.008 for a 11'' diaphragm.

G. de Vaucouleurs (“Galaxies and the Universe”, Chapter 14 - Nearby Groups of Galaxies) notes that the Pavo-Indus Cloud includes the NGC 7079 and NGC 7213 Groups. Foreground members are NGC 7090, IC 5152 & IC 5201. NGC 6970 is a background member. The five brightest members of the Pavo-Indus Cloud are NGC 7213, NGC 7205, NGC 7049, NGC 7083 & NGC 7144.
