Hickson 44 is a group of galaxies comprised of NGC 3190 (large spiral galaxy near center), NGC 3187 - the S-shaped barred spiral galaxy to the upper left of NGC 3190), NGC 3193 (elliptical galaxy below and left of NGC 3190), and NGC 3185 (barred spiral galaxy upper right of NGC3190). Along with 2 dwarf galaxies, the 4 galaxies form a quot;compact galaxy groupquot; - a group of galaxies which are close in space and gravitationally interacting.br/Image was taken on March 5th, 2017 from my Creedmoor site with a half moon.
