Talk:Stephan's Quintet

message: The article gives the red shift of the foreground galaxy, NGC 7320, as 790 km/s; but the table lists a much larger value (5985 ± 9) comparable to that of the other members of the group.  Also, it's listed as 7320c in the table, without explanation. Elphion (talk) 11:01, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Answer: NGC 7320 is the foreground galaxy, not part of the Hickson group and so not listed in the table.  NGC 7320c, which is in the table, is thought to be part of the association as it has a similar red shift.  It is not visible in most of the photos, being off the left edge of the two photos in the article.  It is visible in one of the gallery shots. Elphion (talk) 06:53, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that :File:Stephan's Quintet Hubble 2009.full denoise.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on . You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2018-11-22. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 13:44, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Image from this article to appear as POTD soon 

message: In the opening paragraph, and in the caption for the POTD, it definitely states that the brightest member is NGC 7320. In the infobox it equally definitely states the same is NGC 7318B. If there's some explanation in terms of nomenclature, it needs to be given. Otherwise, it needs to be corrected, because, as it is, we look pretty sloppy.Toyokuni3 (talk) 04:26, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Still there, so we still look sloppy. Which is correct (or at least citable)? Jmacwiki (talk) 14:07, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Conflicting Copy

message: In the infobox, there is the beautiful image that was a Picture of the Day. That image has a caption listing 4 NGC catalog numbers. Until today (Aug. 7, 2019), the numbers are described as "left to right." But when I went to the page for the image itself, it gives NGC numbers in clockwise order, which is different from "left to right."  So I'm changing the infobox caption to match the more detailed description on the image's page, so the infobox caption now reads "clockwise from upper left." If I get this wrong, please undo my change, or otherwise fix my work. Oaklandguy (talk) 07:28, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:   Edit of picture caption in infobox 

message: FYI, there is a new image of Stephan's Quintet from the Webb Space Telescope here, if anyone is interested. I'm not sure if this is better or more useful than the pic that is currently in the infobox. Maybe there is some updated information on the linked page that is useful for this article. In any case, I am sure the astronomers here are up on the latest research already. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 00:11, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Not trying to necro this or anything, but looking at the image I don't know if, at the resolutions we can use, it would be much better. I downloaded the full image and it's like 200 megabytes. You can see the individual stars which is kind of cool, but the colors are totally different and tbh I think the hubble one would be better for this article.
