Talk:Seyfert's Sextet

I deleted the absurd statement that the distance (from us to Seyfert's Sextet? or between galaxies within Seyfert's Sextet) is 190 light-years. If someone can find the right figure, maybe he or she can put it where "190 light-years" appeared before I edited it away. Michael Hardy 23:29 Jan 29, 2003 (UTC)

Is that correct? "Number of galaxies 4"

The link on the "Number of galaxies" inside the picture box is just the front page of the NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database. So I searched for the Sextet in that database and could find nothing that claimed 4 galaxies. Inside the preamble of the article it states "six members, but one ... is a background object and another ... is part of the tail [of a constituent galaxy]". In fact, if you look at this "background object", NGC 6027d, it is a barred spiral in its own right. That makes 5. Either one of the other visible items is not a galaxy (which would then support 4) or this needs to be changed to 5. Jyg (talk) 20:15, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
