Something to make up for the two earlier disasters last night! Worthy of getting more data on a clearer night.

This is a group of galaxies, some of them interacting, in the back of Leo's head. Three spirals, one elliptical and a scattering of smaller ones across the frame that may or may not be related.

Note that the galaxy Wikipedia says is NGC 3190 is numbered NGC3189 in Stellarium.

NGC 3187 to its right is distorted into a 'S' shape with two long tails.
