Description

HCG 68 is the galaxy group in the lower left, which seems to be a true group and also gravitationally bound to NGC 5371 in the upper right. The galaxies show quite diverse structure, so it's worth to zoom in (I provided a crop). NGC 5353 hosted a supernova in 2019, but it has long since faded.
