Description

Here is another quite old picture, which I have completely reprocessed. Although the total exposure time is not particularly large, some interesting details can already be seen. The largest galaxy NGC4725 exerts gravitational influence on its smaller neighbor NGC4747, resulting in a recognizable tail. NGC4712, on the other hand, is not part of the group and appears much smaller due to its greater distance.

I hope you enjoy it.
