Abstract

We present observations of the new Local Group galaxy candidates Cassiopeia dSph, Pegasus dSph=AndVI and Camelopardalis A. Our deep color-magnitude diagrams show that the first two galaxies are certainly Local group members, and likely dSph galaxies at a distance similar to that of the Andromeda galaxy. Cam A seems to be a star forming galaxy considerably further away.
