NGC 7720 is a Galaxy Pair in the Pegasus constellation. NGC 7720 is situated north of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the northern hemisphere. The image below is a photograph of NGC 7720 from the Digitized Sky Survey 2 (DSS2 - see the credits section) taken in the red channel.

Discovered in 1784 by William Herschel with an 18.7-inch f/13 speculum telescope. He called it "vF, E, some small stars with nebulosity." The RNGC (Sulentic and Tifft 1973) notes that this is a 14.0 mag galaxy. Their coded description reads E,R,BM,DB),COM S&FO.
