Description

Considerable helpful discussion on this effort in the GHS Group enabled color visualization of various structures.

From Telescope Live:

Arp 286 consists of three galaxies that are gravitationally interacting almost 65 million light-years away. The large spiral galaxy at the center is NGC 5566. The small,spiral galaxy  is NGC 5569. At the top there is the distorted spiral NGC 5560. It is presumably distorted by the gravity of NGC 5569.
