NGC3319 is a medium sized barred galaxy in southern region of Ursa Major, positioned at 3 degrees east of mu UMa, a tip star of Big Bear's hind leg. The galaxy has an elongated central bulge stretched in NE to SW and dimmed arms wound up surrounding it.
Moreover, this image shows tiny lights distributed at northwest of NGC3319, this region is equivalent to a small galaxy cluster of Abell 1056, floating at much farther than NGC3319.
