NGC 5371 and Hickson 68 - Big Lick Galaxy Group

NGC 5371 

 

At the bottom we can see Hickson 68  (NGC 5350, 5353, 5354, 5355 and 5358), one of the brighter Hickson compact galaxy groups.  Well resolved spiral NGC 5350 makes this group even rather photogenic.
Like its nice (and big) neighbour above, spiral galaxy
NGC 5371, it is  located 100 million light years from Earth in the constellation Canes Venatici, 8 degrees southeast of M51. You may also notice a 2 billion LY distant galaxy cluster right of NGC 5371.
