It seems that NGC 7125 is 163.4 Mlyrs away

and NGC 7126 is 134.3 Mlyrs away.

So we can assume they are not an interacting pair.

This was the only other good picture I could find:

Hubble did take some data but not of the entire NGC 7126

Yes saw those in my search too Al, I would love Jim Riffles 18" F2.8 fork mounted Centurion 18 beauty!..in fact I know his folio of work with that scope well, in the early 2000's it was some of the best amateur imaging being done in the World and he had one located at Leyburn QLD that took that picture.
