NGC 7793 is a member of the Sculptor galaxy group which also includes four other bright galaxies, NGC 253, NGC 247, NGC 300, NGC 55 and a number of dwarf galaxies. The Sculptor group is considered the nearest galaxy group to the Local group. Although a defined group, the Sculptor group is really a loose cloud of galaxies forming a cigar shaped filament some 3 by 20 million light years along our line of sight. The Sculptor group, along with the Canes Venatici complex and the local group appear to form a loose filament of the Virgo supercluster that extends over a distance of 33 million light years.
