NGC 3227 taken on March17th 2016 from my Creedmoor site is a spiral galaxy that is interacting with the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 3226. The two galaxies are one of several examples of a spiral with a dwarf elliptical companion that are listed in the emAtlas of Peculiar Galaxies/em. Both galaxies may be found in the constellation Leo. br/Sir William Herschel already recognised them as a double nebula and they were jointly listed as Holm 187 in the emCatalogue of Double and Multiple Galaxies/em and as Arp 94 in the emAtlas of Peculiar Galaxies/em. Amateur telescopes can discern them but require magnification of about 100 times. They are situated 50prime; east of the well-known double star system Gamma Leonis (i.e. Algieba).
