Wow, very deep photograph. I was not aware of the bridge between NGC 1954 and 1957 yet. Nice.

I had a look at the group at a windy but extremely transparent night on the top of the ORM observatory in La Palma with an 18-inch telescope. I could detect the hints of the thin spiral arms and the somewhat offset nucleus of NGC 1954.
