little galaxy group doesn't seem
to be imaged that often. NGC
3347 (mag. 11.3) is at the
centre with NGC 3358 (mag. 12.3)
to the left. Just to the upper
left of NGC 3347 is NGC

between it and NGC 3347. Also
prominent at the upper left is
ESO 376-12 (mag. 14.7).
The distance of NGC 3347 is
about 111.5 million light years.
