On this picture you can see trio of (coincidentally) nicely aligned galaxies, located in the constellation Draco, all between 90-140 million light-years from Earth:
a face-on (Seyfert type active) spiral NGC 5985, elliptical galaxy NGC 5982 and edge-on spiral NGC 5981.
It is my second (and much better) attempt to take a snap of this nice group..
