Description:

This image shows galaxies about 75 million light-years away in the constellation Sextans (NGC 3156, NGC 3165, NGC 3166, and NGC 3169), a constellation that always stays very low from home, which made this photo very difficult. The four main galaxies are all members of the NGC 3166 Group of galaxies, which is a member of the Leo II Groups, a series of galaxies and galaxy clusters strung out from the right edge of the Virgo Supercluster.
