DETAILS NGC3166 and NGC3165 are spiral galaxies about 4.6 arcmin apart. Ngc3166 is a barred spiral and NGC3166 is a weakly barred spiral and also a LINER type galaxy. Supernova SN 2012cw occurred here. SDSS J101340.74+032055.8 is the largest in a group of galaxies of which five are visible in this image. SDSS J101332.22+032812.4 appears to be elongated. It is difficult to ascertain its morphology but at that distance in time might easily be a spiral. Only just visible in this image, SDSS J101323.89+033016.9 is a QSO.
