Description

NGC 4273 is the small galaxy in the center of the picture. Size 2,3 x 1,5 arcmin and 103 Mio Lj Dist.

NGC 4281 is the elliptical galaxy above Size 3,0 x 1,6 arcmin and 116 Mio Lj Dist.

IC 3153 is the small galaxypatch just right of NGC 4273 Size 0,5 x 0,5 arcmin and 520 Mio Lj. Dist

Many other small galaxies are in this group and area

There is a very distant galaxy cluster down in the middle of the field which is called RC-GN 1516

I did not find any information about the distance, but it must be almost a billion Lj. based on the size of the components.

Hope you enjoy this very interesting galaxy field!
