This is a list of galaxy groups within 100 million light years according to P Fouqué and co-workers. Most distances are from the Nearby Galaxies Catalogue. All of these groups are ones containing at least 3 galaxies with an angular diameter larger than 100 arcseconds - a measure which is obviously biased towards closer groups. There are over a thousand galaxies in this list scattered among 148 groups, but by no means are all large galaxies included, many other galaxies are perhaps only loosely bound to a group, and hence are not included or they belong to a group without a sufficient number of large galaxies to make it onto the list. It is very rare however for a galaxy to be completely isolated in space.

Column 1: Name of the group. Usually the catalog number of the brightest
galaxy, or the name of the constellation in which the group lies.
Column 2: The Right Ascension in hours and minutes for epoch 2000.
Column 3: The declination in degrees for epoch 2000.
Column 4: The supergalactic longitude.
Column 5: The supergalactic latitude.
Column 6: The number of galaxies in the group with an angular diameter
larger than 100 arcseconds
Column 7: The recessional velocity of the group relative to our galaxy.
Column 8: The distance to the group in millions of light years, usually
accurate to about ±10% at best.
Column 9: Catalog names of the principal galaxies. NGC for those with no
prefix, otherwise from one of the following six catalogs:
IC, UGC, UGCA, ESO, MCG, PGC.

A diagram of all the galaxy groups listed above plotted onto the supergalactic plane. Our galaxy is in the middle, although the Local Group is not shown. Note the absence of any major galaxy groups above us on the map, this area is known as the Local Void, it is a sparse region of space with a diameter of over 100 million light years although it is not completely empty - there are some individual galaxies populating this region.
Left - an animation showing the brightest galaxies (AMag<-16.3) in the Virgo supercluster. This animation is an actual plot of the 2500 most luminous galaxies within 100 million light years from us. The slight uncertainty of the distances to many of these galaxies makes the galaxies appear more scattered than they actually are, but the general features of the Virgo supercluster are obvious, especially the long filaments of galaxies and the low-density void regions.
