Description

A galaxy group in Leo. Four are large and obvious: the central spiral galaxy, another spiral nearby with arms warped through interaction, a large elipitical NGC 3193, and a barred spiral NGC 3185.

There are two smaller galaxies easily visible, with at least 3 more visible on close inspection.

An interesting group, with lots of variety in form.
