Description

Number four and five (I think) in my 2-part series of "Galaxies that are Too Small for my Telescope". Roughly 50 light-years distant, these two galaxies are both visually and physically "close". A number of smaller galaxies are sprinkled in the background, including a trio in the bottom left that is a little reminiscent of Stephan's Quintet.
