NGC 3347 is an elongated barred spiral galaxy in Antlia seen in the lower left of the frame. NGC 3358 is a lenticular galaxy seen in the right of the frame. The small galaxy in the middle is NGC 3354. Of interest is the tidal stream between NGC 3347 and NGC 3354 forming a bridge between the two galaxies which indicates significant interaction.
Red shift calculations indicate the three galaxies all lie approximately 125 million light years from here.
