| Size: | 7.8' x 1.8' | |
| Magnitude: | 11.1 mag | |
| Constellation: | Vir | |
| Distance: | 40 Mio Ly | |
| Notes: |
The three edge-on galaxies NGC4216 (in the center of the image), NGC4222 (top left) and NGC4206 (bottom right) are members of the Virgo galaxy cluster. In the east of NGC4216 one can find a very faint structure, which could be a possible tidal tail. This tail is much better visible in the inverted image. The two dwarf galaxies PGC39324 and PGC39303 are maybe connected with the tidal tail. |
