It is not often you run across 3 edge on galaxies in the same field. The UGC 4185 group is pretty unusual.

5594

I have observed this group a few times over the years an always find it most interesting. UGC 4185 is in the center of the group and UGC 4186 is to the left in the above image. I find them of equal brightness and not very difficult. MCG +11-10-55 below in the image is a horse of a different color. I find it extremely low surface brightness and most difficult it shows up best for me with higher power and then it is just a small feeble streak. It is still cool to catch 3 edge on galaxies in the same field especially if you are an edge on galaxy fan and I am certainly in that club.

Give It A Go!
Good Luck and Great Viewing
