Description

This image shows  NGC 4214, NGC 4163, and NGC 4190 galaxies - all of which are classified as irregular galaxies. NGC 4214 and NGC 4163 have duplicate NGC identifications (NGC 4228, and NGC4 167 respectively). Just below and right of NGC 4214 (the large galaxy) is a small dim irregular PGC 39145.  All of these galaxies are in the same distance neighborhood of 8.5 to 14 million light years. Other background galaxies in this image are further distant. Further still are many Quasars in this field, the four brightest (see annotated image) range in redshift from 0.5 to 1.9. These objects and some of the brighter stars are identified in the annotated image. The full size image has an image scale of approximately 1.57 arcsec/pix.   Horizontal FOV is approximately 88 arc minutes.
