About this image

Image of a group of galaxies in Leo centered on NGC 1497. An interesting feature of UGC 2927 is the apparent ring. (Clearer when stretched)
I've not found a deep image of this galaxy. (still looking). There is an "empty" patch of sky at the lower left. It could be associated with IC 354 which is a weak emission nebula near M45.
