Description

Galaxy group in constellation Coma Berenices - NGCs 4169 / 4173 / 4174 / 4175

NGC4173 (bluish irregular galaxy) is 50 M LY and other 3 are grouped together at around 180 M LY distant
A number of smaller galaxies can be found in the background

Don't have the focal length for the Box proper but it still makes a pretty (almost) centrepiece.
