I had processed this previously, but lately I looked at it and felt that I completely messed up the color balance, leaning too far blue. I decided I also didn't like the blur that I had used to smooth out the noise.

Description
English: I had processed this previously, but lately I looked at it and felt that I completely messed up the color balance, leaning too far blue. I decided I also didn't like the blur that I had used to smooth out the noise. I wish all the tidal tails were easier to see, but the imaging really isn't that deep. Regardless, it's still a beautiful dataset, and I am quite fond of this compact group of galaxies.

In the lower left is that typical WFPC2 missing L-shaped chunk of data. I filled it in with some noise and matched it in brightness to make it less distracting. Just know that empty space is not actually empty; it's missing data.

I also took the opportunity to check if there was any Chandra data available, and there was.

Red: WFPC2 F814W Green: WFPC2 F555W Blue: WFPC2 F439W+F336W

North is NOT up. It is 10.15° counter-clockwise from up.
