We present observations of the new Local Group galaxy candidates Cassiopeia dSph, Pegasus dSph = And VI and Camelopadalis 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 situated considerably further away.
