The Pegasus Dwarf is a galaxy with mainly metal poor stellar populations. It is located at the right ascension 23h28m36.25s and declination +14d44m34.5s in the equatorial coordinate system ( epoch J2000.0).
Pegasus Dwarf Spheroidal was discovered in the 1950s, but it was until Tully & Fischer (1975) to become know that this galaxy is part of the Local Group. The metallicity and the related distance estimate has been subject to discussions in the scientific literature, whith varying results.
