As you have described, it’s a very diverse group of galaxies, and you did a very good job capturing them all.

The galaxies in the Hickson 44 group are probably gravitationally pulling each other apart. NGC 3190 shows signs of gravitational interaction.

NGC-3190 is a spiral galaxy about 79 million light-years away in the constellation of Leo. It is the largest member of the Hickson Compact Group 44, a small galaxy group that also includes the regular elliptical galaxy NGC-3193 and two barred spiral galaxies NGC-3187 and NGC-3185. The galaxies in the Hickson 44 group are probably gravitationally pulling each other apart. NGC 3190 shows signs of gravitational interaction.

I shot this image on February 24, 2019 at Brickhouse Observatory on the Meyer Field. It was a fairly good night.

Enjoy.
