Super-galactic coordinate map of the distribution of galaxies within a 5 Mpc cube roughly centered on the Local Group. The size of filled circles is scaled to the luminosity of a galaxy. The T-values morphological classification of each system is color-coded according to the color-bar scale. The big circle encompassing the Local Group corresponds to the zero-velocity surface (Karachentsev et al. 2009), which separates the collapsing region of space around the Local Group from the cosmological expansion. Known highly isolated dSph systems are marked with a red star as well as Do I. The short line from Do I indicates the distance uncertainty from 2.5–3.5 Mpc. In this map, the position of NGC 404 approximately overlaps with those of Do I at 3.5 Mpc.
