An interesting and very spectacular trio of galaxies in the constellation Leo. NGC 3222: the westernmost member is a really faint slightly elongated galaxy of about 13 magnitudes only. Its core is like a star, with quickly increasing luminosity. To the SW of this I can detect a faint little star in front of the galaxy. NGC 3226 and 3227: spectacular, closely interacting couple, no wonder it was included in Halton Arp's famous catalogue of peculiar galaxies with the number 94. Among them the latter is much brighter and larger with a star-like core which brightens quickly. The 3226 is the opposite of this with a really homogeneous surface and almost no visible core.
