Group of galaxies in the constellation Leo
The Copeland Septet (also Copeland's Septet, Hickson Compact Group 57) is a group of galaxies in the constellation Leo that includes NGC 3748 , NGC 3754 , NGC 3750 , NGC 3751 , NGC 3745 , NGC 3753 and NGC 3746 . The group was discovered by British astronomer Ralph Copeland in 1874. The location of Copeland's Septet is right ascension 11 37 50 / declination +21° 59′ (2000.0), about three degrees northwest of third magnitude star 93 Leonis .
The redshift of the brightest member, NGC 3753 places Copelands Septet as a part of the Coma Supercluster .
