…galaxies was averaged and adjusted to estimate the group's distance at 19.1±0.8 Mpc in 2007. At the center of the cluster lie interacting galaxies NGC 1549 and NGC 1553. The dominant group members, ordered by luminosity, are: spiral NGC 1566, lenticular NGC 1553, and elliptical NGC 1549. The group spans…
