Description

This is NGC 3190 (center of the image) which is part of Hickson Compact Group (HCG) 44. The other members of the compact group are NGC 3193, NGC 3185, and NGC 3187.

Located in the constellation Leo, the brightest member of the group is NGC 3190. Two supernovas were discovered in this galaxy in 2002.

I acquired this image from one observation of 10 minutes and processed using MaxIM DL and Photoshop. The background needed darkening and I adjusted the color to remove the color cast.
