Very rarely imaged NGC 3200 is a barred spiral galaxy in Hydra. The galaxy is approximately 160 million light years from Earth. A SINGG study found the galaxy has one of the highest neutral hydrogen contents yet observed.
The galaxy is set against a rich background of smaller galaxies many of which are unusual in form.
