NGC 67/70/71/72 - Arp 113
Andromeda
Penryn, California
October 2006
M 250 @ f 9.3  (ag, ST-4)
ST-10XME LRGB 15  minute subs

A group of interacting galaxies.  Clockwise from upper center in the main group is NGC 67, NGC 69 ( detached at 2:00 position),  NGC 72 (detached at 5:00 with NGC 72A immediately below), NGC 71 and NGC 70.  There are numerous smaller galaxies in the image.

NGC 71 and 70 are classified as peculiar galaxies but I could not find any research papers on this group.  I'm assuming they are interacting.
