Description

This Astrobin Debut Object is a galaxy trio located 0.9 billion light years away in the constellation of Pisces at a declination of +21 degrees.  The magnitudes here range from 15 to 16.  Each galaxy spans about 25 arc-seconds in our apparent view, which corresponds to a diameter of 70,000 light years.

I see the possibility of some interaction here amongst these 3 galaxies but it is tough to know for sure.

The Catalogue of Galaxies and of Clusters of Galaxies (or CGCG) was compiled by Dr. Fritz Zwicky from 1961 through 1968. It contains 29,418 galaxies and 9,134 galaxy clusters.
