NGC 7691 is an intermediate spiral galaxy in the constellation of Pegasus. Its velocity with respect to the cosmic microwave background is 3,676±26 km/s, which corresponds to a Hubble distance of 176.8 ± 12.4 Mly (54.21 ± 3.81 Mpc).[1] However, four non-redshift measurements give a farther mean distance of 199.44 ± 9.12 Mly (61.150 ± 2.796 Mpc).[2] It was discovered by German-British astronomer William Herschel on 16 October 1784.[3][4]
