Hundreds of small, lovely galaxies.  IC 700 is particularly nice and unusual intricacies.

The large collection of tiny orange galaxies in the lower central area are mostly large galaxies located billions of light years from us.

NGC 3697 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation of Leo. It was discovered on 24 February 1827 by John Herschel. It was described as "extremely faint, very small, extended 90°" by John Louis Emil Dreyer, the compiler of the New General Catalogue. It is a member of HCG 53, a compact group of galaxies.
