We have identified a new group of galaxies, CG J0247+44.9, at low Galacticlatitude (l=143.64 deg, b=-13.29 deg), which satisfies Hickson's criteria(Hickson 1997) for Compact Groups (CGs). Our group consists of six members, twoof which are in close interaction (IRAS 02443+4437). We present here opticalphotometry (BVRI) and low resolution spectroscopy of the individual galaxiesand investigate the global properties of the group. Our morphological analysisreveals that two out of the six objects are lenticular galaxies. The others arespirals showing emission lines in their spectra through which we could classifythem as a starburst galaxy (the spiral member of the IRAS 02443+4437 closepair), a Seyfert 2, a LINER and a weak H II galaxy. Since the S0/Sa is theprevailing morphology for the galaxies of this group, which is alsocharacterized by a short crossing time and a relatively high velocitydispersion, we suggest that CG J0247+44.9 is a dynamically old compact group.
