It is a small galaxy group that floats about 330 million light-years away on the western outskirts of the constellation Coma Berenices.
The elliptical galaxy NGC4065, visible in the lower right corner of the image, is the brightest, with a brightness of 12th magnitude and a size of just over 1 arcminute.
The small galaxies are distributed into two groups, one in the lower right and the other in the upper left of the image, with about 20 member galaxies scattered within a span of about 30 arcminutes.
This galaxy group is located between the Leo Cluster (Abell 1367) and the Coma Cluster (Abell 1656),
and it is considered part of the structure that connects these clusters belonging to the Coma Supercluster.
