Description:
Interesting but very faint pair of galaxies in the constellation Leo the lion. Both of them is oval, the galaxy NGC 2964 to the SW has a very delicate star-like core. This galaxy also displays an interesting detail mostly with the averted vision: its NE side is a bit brighter than the other, forming a triangular shape. Its even fainter companion, the NGC 2968 does not show any detail.
