Category: External galaxy
Class: 
Constellation: Leo
Data: mag   size 
Position: RA :  DEC :
Description:
Two galaxies, small and next to one another. They appear to be
'touching', though NGC suggests they are overlapping. 3226 smaller,
more diffuse, and fainter. 3227 is brighter and larger. There seems to
be a brighter following edge, but I was unable to convince myself this
was not an illusion due to the poor seeing. This pair is worth
returning to.
