This nice scene features a trio of galaxies lying in a nearly straight line only 14' in length. From left to right are face-on spiral NGC 5985, elliptical galaxy NGC 5982, and edge-on galaxy NGC 5981. A fourth, smaller, NGC galaxy, 5976, can be near the right edge of the image. Many other smaller galaxies are present in this galaxy-rich area of the sky, as can be seen in the high-resolution version of this image.
