This trio of galaxies are about the same distance from our galaxy (the milky way) and are definitely interacting with one another gravitatioinally.  3190 (center) and 3187 (top left) show structural distortion due to the interaction.  You may also notice a halo of stars around 3190 likely due to this interaction.  The stats for NGC 3190 are RA: 10h 18m 05.7s, Dec: +21° 49' 57", Mag: 12.1 (B), Size: 4.4'x1.2', and Class: SA(s)a pec sp.
