About this image

A trio of galaxies in Coma Berenices constellation:NGC4725,NGC 4747 and NGC4712. The galaxies are at a distance about 40 million, 50 million and 207 million light- years respectively. NGC4725 is an intermediate barrel spiral galaxy and it interacts with the NGC4747 taking a distortion of this galaxy and causing tidal trails.

In the image several faint galaxies are captured and below,for example, some G band magnitude are reported:

PGC1743037:+21.0 mag

PGC1745906:+19.6 mag

PGC1745311:+20.9 mag
