Hickson Compact Group 100 consists of the four of the five or six galaxies above and to the right of the center of the image:

NGC 7823 (HCG 100a, PGC 100, MCG+02-01-011 and others) is the largest member of the group. This one is located approximately 253 million light-years away.

MCG+02-01-012 (HGC 100b, Mrk 934, PGC 108 and others) is the member to the left (east) of NGC 7823. This one is located approximately 248 million light-years away.

MCG+02-01-009 (HGC 100c, PGC 89 and others) is the spiral at the top right of the group. This one is located approximately 258 million light-years away.

MCG+02-01-010 (HGC 100d, PGC 93 and others) is the somewhat edge-on galaxy below HGC 100c. This one is located approximately 264 million light-years away.

These are located about three degrees from the bright star Algenib in Pegasus.

NGC 7810 (UGC 12919) is the galaxy at the bottom left. I managed to capture asteroid 896 Sphinx near it.
