This image shows you a small-scaled galaxy group in east edge of Virgo. NGC5846 in center is an elliptical with its size of 3.5 arc minutes, and a barred galaxy NGC5850 is positioned just east of NGC5846. Both galaxies has a brightness of 10th magnitude, estimated about 85 millions light years away.
