Description

This journey begins on the left with the magnificent NGC5078 and its companion IC879. Half a degree farther on is NGC5101, a barred spiral. At the bottom left side, we will easily have noticed the elliptical galaxy NGC5061. As we move towards the galaxy cluster Abell1736 to the right, we encounter an impressive number of galaxies of all shapes. This is a visit to be made at high resolution! Have a nice trip!
