Description

The Herring and Crowbar.

Sounds like an Aesop fable. These 2 galaxies plus the Dwarf eliptical galaxy NGC 4627 form the backbone of the NGC 4631 Group of galaxies, however this group of galaxies remains unclear as to number of galaxies included with some research siting 5 galaxies and others up to 27.

Once again there are a good number of background galaxies.
