Notes: Arp 1 is the spiral to the upper left, while Arp 285 is the pair of galaxies to the lower right. Arp 1 has a pair of arms extending from a faint bar in a very symmetrical pattern. Arp 285's galaxies are both spirals oriented at right angles with respect to each other. The arms of the NE galaxy are indistinct. It is said to have a jet pointing to the NE, but we would need much better seeing to capture it. The arms of the SW galaxy stand out clearly.

Notes: Very dim, possible tidal tail perpendicular to main stream on the S. Vertical bar, with slight ring effect surrounding it.

Notes: Faint. Somewhat knotty appearance. Needs much longer exposure to see full extent of galaxy.

Notes: Face on, but with unusual arms that take the shape of an inverted U, and a pronounced vertical bar below it. Dust could be separating these two structures. The shape suggets a bear's paw, hence its name. There is also a featureless companion to the E.

Notes: Spiral with somewhat irregular arms. The SE arms swings CW to the E, where there may be a faint companion, although the connection isn't obvious. There is a prominent arm in the NW too, which takes a sharp bend.

Notes: Very clear bar structure and spiral arms. Split arm at N doesn't quite start at bar. Edge-on galaxy to the W may be MCG+12-08-030.

Notes: Spiral galaxy. Strong arm in the WNW is close to nucleus, part of a ring. Two weaker arms to the E and S seem to be aimed in opposite directions (CW and CCW respectively).

Notes: Shapeless galaxy, with perhaps a slight warp. Other galaxies in the area too. Seeing was too poor to do this justice.

Notes: Poor picture combined with uninteresting galaxy. Challenges including seeing texture to N and SE, and a galaxy nearby; but picture isn't good enough.

Notes: S-shaped on its side. Core said to have a detached segment. Challenge is ring structure with extension to the W; but I see a more interesting tidal tail in the E.This target was so low that I didn't intend to photograph it.

Notes: Small spiral with two arms. The bottom one has a hook at the end. The top one has a break before a heavier area; so that could be another galaxy instead of an arm. (The Arp Atlas identifies it as PG 21685.)

Notes: Two galaxies. One larger galaxy has two long arms connected to central bar. The smaller one is located within the extent of the larger one. The whole effect is an angel with one arm raised and a halo over her head. Arp characterizes this as a three-arm spiral; but even in his picture, the short third "arm" doesn't really seem to extend into the nucleus.

Notes: Spiral with a companion. One arm of the spiral is rather broad and sweeps out towards the companion. It could be separated from the nucleus by an absorption feature. The nucleus has some knotty features on the NE. The companion is a small edge-on spiral with no obvious features.

Notes: Nice eccentric spiral, with an eliptical galaxy (NGC 2300) to the ESE, and some background galaxies to the W.

Notes: Aka M101. Four prominent arms. One is quite thin. Another splits, and then one of the sub-arms fans out. Many knots. Needs a wider field to capture faintest parts. Sky darkness is an estimate; but it was probably darker than 18.36.

Notes: Has three arms. One of them has a break and a right angle bend; so it could really be four arms. Possible interpretation is two galaxies in close alignment. One arm is much thicker than the others. Stellar nucleus.

Notes: My favorite, NGC 6946. Has five arms depending on how you count them. The S arm splits about halfway out.

Notes: A face-on spiral wiith discernible arms, and an edge-on spiral merging with it. There is a bright oblong object at the NE end of the edge-on spiral, probably a pair of stars.

Notes: Two long arms spiralling out from a short bar. The bars show some knots. NGC 694 is to the ENE, is slightly irregular.

Notes: Two spirals more or less edge-on, merging. The larger (lower) one has the shape of a comma. A very bright area in the N of this galaxy could be a star or something more interesting.

Notes: Centermost spiral galaxy has long arms pointing N and S. The S arm points to another galaxy directly below it. It is said that there is a faint filament joining the galaxies, but it would take more exposures to see it.

Notes: This is aka M77. Large face-on spiral with knotty structures on the inner arms. Fainter outer arms extend a considerable distance from the nucleus.

Notes: Spiral with 2-3 arms with the N arm broken up by several bright areas, including a conspicuous one in the N. It is said to be a "ring" structure.

Notes: Very small galaxy with a hook shape. Perhaps reaches a dwarf galaxy near the main galaxy's edge. There's another companion nearby to the SW, and there is said to be an arm that connects it to he main galaxy, but it's barefly visible at best in my photo. Arguably there's a long tail that reaches out to another more remote galaxy to the NW.

Notes: Two galaxies. Center-most has a slight hook in SW. Very poor picture doesn't do justice to the structure in either galaxy.

Notes: Very small galaxy with integral shape. Faint loop on top side. SE arm reaches over to smaller galaxy on E. Another galaxy is close and to the SW, may not be connected.

Notes: Oval shape with a protuberance on the NNW side.

Notes: Spiral with two arms leading CW from N and S. N arm points to a small companion on the W. There is a spiral to the SSW with no obvious connection to the center-most galaxy, and another to the W.

Notes: Spiral seen face-on, with one arm projecting to the W and possibly connecting to a small companion.

Notes: Smallish spiral with fairly long arms. There is said to be a companion at the end of the S arm. It appears star-like in this image, but it takes a higher resolution picture to distinguish it from a star.

Notes: Spiral, with arms extending CCW out of NNW an SSE sides. Companion is a small spiral on the E side, located at the end of the top arm. Bottom arm has one or two knots.

Notes: Two galaxies. Centermost has pronounced long tidal tails and a short bar. Many background galaxies.

Notes: Two rather short arms curving sharply away from nucleus. Unidentified smuge to northwest beyond the bright star could be related?

Notes: A barred spiral seen face on. Arms seem to swing CCW, but there could be a SW arm that swings CW, leading to a companion in the south, and perhaps another to the SE.

Notes: Three mottled arms, no bar. The N arm has what seems to be another arm dangling down off the end, but it is said to be a companion galaxy.

Notes: Spiral with two long arms. One on the S curves to the E, while the one on the N heads W and then hooks sharply to the S, where it aims at a companion galaxy in the S. There is no obvious connection.

Notes: Bar with two arms. They are said to be split, but not at this resolution.

Notes: Barred spiral with two prominent arms. The W arm swings around and almost comes back to touch the SE arm. Or perhaps more accurately, it swings around to meet a small elliptical companion to the S. The SE arm has a very faint extension heading N.

Notes: Spiral with one elongated arm heading NW, with a knot it in. Unusual arm parallel to it sticking oiut from core. They both head towards a companion galaxy, but no obvious connection. They also fade off into a weak plume heading SW.

Notes: Spiral seen at an angle. Very prominent arm on the rear side, and a straight arm on the front side. The straight arm seems to disappear, then reappear very dimly on the E. Traces of other dim arms may surround the galaxy on all sides. Companions on the E and SW don't have an obvious connection.

Notes: Barred spiral with two arms. The bar is broken into three features. One arm starts at S and swings CCW to N where there is a knotty feature. The other arms starts in N and swings around to S without any notable features. The arms don't appear to swing far away from the galaxy.

Notes: A spiral galaxy with a compact galaxy to the SE. The spiral has a conspicuous tidal tail swinging up and then looping down on the east.

Notes: Spiral. Has a strong tail to the S, and a strong companion near its end, which might have been responsible for it. Another weaker tail curves N over to W.

Notes: aka the "Heron". This is two galaxies interacting strongly. The larger S galaxy forms the body of the heron. It is a spiral with one stubby arm starting in N and curving quickly to E, and another extended arm that starts in S and curls CCW up towards the companion. The companion is more compact, with a condensed core and two arms curling CW. This forms the head of the heron. The two arms of the two galaxies seem to connect, but don't do so smoothly; so it's possible they aren't related.

Notes: Sprial (NGC 7753) with two extended bars, including a very long one to the SW that connects to a companion galaxy (NGC 7752).

Notes: Arp 88 itself is the very small galaxy in the center of the picture. It has a slight elongation in NW/SE direction, and a possible tidal tail heading due E. The much larger and brighter galaxies to the E comprise Arp 119. One of these is an elliptical galaxy, while the other is a distorted spiral galaxy with an arm pointing N to the elliptical.

Notes: Small fuzzy spiral colliding with smaller more compact galaxy to the SW. The larger spiral has a brighter arm that seems to reach out ot the smaller galaxy. There is also a warped spiral to the NE of the pair. Or perhaps it's really two edge-on galaxies at a slight angle.

Notes: Very faint structureless galaxy, with the slightest hint of a bridge to a companion galaxy to the SE. Needs much longer exposure to make the tidal tail stand out.

Notes: Weak spiral with mottled interior. Compnanion elliptical nearby to the NNW, with connection to one arm of the main galaxy. Hints of material to the NE and SW.

Notes: A spiral with two prominent arms. The W arms swings CW to ESE where it connects with an elliptical galaxy. The E arms swings around and heads directly S towards what is probably a field star.

Notes: Concentrated nucleus, with long tail point W to a companion elliptical galaxy, and a curly tail on the E that doesn't connect to anything. Possible companion to the S with no obviously connection.

Notes: Four galaxies. Central is elliptical. It might have extensions in various directions; but would need longer exposure to confirm this. To N is a dramatic spiral with prominent bar and two long arms extending to N and S. To the WNW of the central galaxy is an edge-on spiral. It may have a slight extension towards the central galaxy. To the ESE of the central galaxy is an elliptical galaxy with no obvious connection to the others.

Notes: Small warped spiral with a bright area that is probably a foreground star. This long tidal stream points to NNE, and weak countertail on the SSW with an elliptical companion off to the side.

Notes: Galaxy perhaps merging with a dwarf galaxy to the SSE. Long tidal tails extends to the NNW, but connects to nothing. There's also an elliptical galaxy to the SSW, with just the slightest indication of a tidal tail connecting back to the central galaxies.

Notes: Three galaxies. Two form a close pair just below center. There is a slight tail pointing north towards the third. None of these galaxies shows interesting structure. NGC 6241 is also here, in lower left corner of picture.

Notes: Also known as Keenan's system. Two galaxies. The northern galaxy is a face-on spiral with a pronounced hook to the W, and a tidal tail leading S and connecting to the southern galaxy and then continuing through it into a counter tail The southern galaxy seems to be featureless. The spiral has a bar oriented ESE to WNW.

Notes: Two galaxies along with others. One slightly above and to right of center has a arm directed away from the second, which is to the left. Arp's photo only shows these two.

Notes: Two galaxies close to each other, with a third smaller galaxy to the east. The smaller galaxy has a boomerang shape. The larger northernmost galaxy has a tail extending to the N.

Notes: 6 galaxies (NGC 67 through NGC 72) in the same field of view, plus many others somewhat farther away. They are so close that they all blend together.

Notes: Two roughly oval galaxies situated on NNW-SSE line, embedded in a common cloud. Upper galaxy shows no structure. Lower galaxy has a knot which could be part of a spiral arm. The material between the galaxies shows several knots in a circle. An edge-on spiral is NW of the pair, might be connected to them by some material.

Notes: Two small galaxies. One to the S is distorted, with one arm pointing to SE and a broader arm point to NW. Also a very short bright projection towards the galaxy on the N. The galaxy on the N is elliptical with no discernible structure.

Notes: Two galaxies that are very close. One is an edge-on spiral with a severe warp and a tail on the N leading to the other in the E, and another broader tail to the S. The companion appears to be a small spiral seen face-on. However Arp claims it is an elliptical, and his photo shows no sign of spiral structure.

Notes: Edge-on disk, with perhaps a weak tail pointing SW to a dwarf elliptical galaxy.

Notes: Small galaxy with arc shape, and an even smaller galaxy to its S. They are presumably involved. Challenge is to see lumps in both galaxies, but image quality isn't good enough.,

Notes: Elliptical galaxy, and a nearby distorted galaxy with tidal tails and knots.

Notes: Oval shape inside a very diffuse cloud. One tail points to an edge-on spiral in the S. Very faint arm on the W. Strong area, probably a star, to the SE.

Notes: Two featureless ellipticals close to each other. Possible faint plume to the SE. Aim is off, due to plate solve problem.

Notes: Two small uninteresting galaxies very close, one considerably bigger than the other. Challenge is to see spiral structure in the larger galaxy, but image quality isn't good enough.

Notes: The most prominent galaxy in the center is elliptical. It has some rough features to the ENE. Then further to the ENE are a pair of ellipticals that are very close to each other. They are surrounded by an extended halo, with a trace of nebulosity pointing back to the central galaxy. There are 8 or more smallerr galaxies in the area, probably considerably farther away than the main galaxies.

Notes: Large but comparatively featureless galaxy. Too flat to be elliptical, but no sign of spiral structure. It is surrounded by a large diffuse cloud with a bulge hanging down from the E end.

Notes: Oval shape with slight brightening to SE. Tiny galaxy to the N show no connection. Brighter galaxies to NE and SW are not part of Arp's photo.

Notes: Two galaxies seem to be merging. To the NW is an elliptical, while the SE member seems to be a seriously disturbed edge-on spiral. Its arms don't follow the usual pattern, but show a kink. Material connects the galaxies.

Notes: Elliptical galaxy, but with very extended plumes that look like the pincers of some kind of animal. There is some knotiness on the pincers.

Notes: A cluster of perhaps 7 more or less featureless galaxies all embedded in common cloud. The cloud has some structure, with absorption features here and there, and an extension going off to the NE. What I am calling galaxies look more like knotty features in the cloud in Arp's photograph.

Notes: Three or four ellipticals very close to each other. The brightest is in a cloud that's at the end of a big loop, which extends to the others.

Notes: Very small galaxy to the SE, and another the the NW, with a loop that extends CCW from it, fading towards the end. The pair give the effect of a sickle.

Notes: Two small galaxies. To the E is an edge-on spiral, slightly warped. To the W is circle that is broken on the far W side. A faint fuzz is located to the SE, with no obvious connection.

Notes: Several small galaxies. The brightest has a tail to the SE that connects it to a close neighbor. Both appear to be ellipticals. Tail may then curve on around to the SW towards an edge-on spiral, which might actually be farther away. Another edge-on spiral is also in the field.

Notes: Disk-like structure with a strong core, weaker projection to the S, and still weaker areas on E and W. The S projection terminates in a slightly stronger area. The core has been sharply cut by a dust lane, giving the impression of two wedges pushing in from the N and S,

Notes: Elliptical with a SE tail curving down and slightly CW. Gives the effect of a sperm cell. The elliptical has a slight protubeance on the NE edge. Arp's picture shows it to be a part of the galaxy that's separated from the rest by an absorption lane.

Notes: Very unusual shape looks somewhat like a gun or a space shuttle. Has an absorption area, which could once have been a dust lane in an ordinary sprial. But it seems like one or two other galaxies are now tearing the galaxy apart.

Notes: Bright extended area oriented horiontally, with a dimmer tail extending further W, and a counter tail extending just a little to the ESE.

Notes: Compact structure, with a dense area to the S and a broad feature expanding as it gets father from the nucleus. It is said to have interesting structure, but I would need better resolution to see it.

Notes: Featureless spiral with a crescent shape. N arm extends farther from the nucleus, while arms on the south are broad and merge into a fuzzy area. There are arguably two arms down there, also seen in Arp's original picture.

Notes: Featureless elliptical. May have an extension leading N towards a very faint companion.

Notes: Two relatively featureless galaxies in close assocation. Star clouds merge between them, and one extends off in a thin tidal tail to the WNW, leading to a very small companion.. There is another companion to the ESE with a very weak connection at best, and third to the WSW with no connection at all.

Notes: Large featurelss galaxy with smaller galaxy close by to the E. There are hints of a plume on the E side of the smaller galaxy.

Notes: M32, satellite to M31, some of which can be seen to the NW. Arp saw a plume curved away from M31 to the S, but I can't see it in any photographs of this target.

Notes: In the center there are two galaxies and a star, or three galaxies, all connected by an irregular shaped cloud, which has one faint plume coming off NW side and heading NE. There is also a broad fan of material on the S side. Two other galaxies are on the SE and SW, but they have no obvious connection to the central group.

Notes: Diffuse cloud surrounds several galaxies.

Notes: Two small spirals seen face-on or at an angle, Broad diffuse clouds surround each one. No obvious connections between them; but might expect one if longer exposures were used. Arp notes a westward filament from the W galaxy. It could be argued that this is in my picture, but longer exposure would be needed to be sure.

Notes: Centermost galaxy shows weak broad spiral arms. There are 2 or 3 small featureless galaxies nearby. One to the ENE is very close and seems to be connected to the central galaxy. There is an even smaller object between them that could be a star, another galaxy, or a knot in the central galaxy's arms. Farther away to the ESE is another small galaxy, slightly elongated in the NE to SW ddirection. There is no obvious connection to the central galaxy. There are some other galaxies in the area too.

Notes: Spiral with asymmetric arms farther out. Most prominent is an extended arm on the W that forks, with the longer arm swinging CW down to the S and back close to the nucleus. There are also two very faint arms heading to the N. Arp describes them as "tangent to the NE side of the galaxy". Some of the arms seem to cross to the ESE. One of my more interesting images.

Notes: This looks like two face-on spiral galaxies that are very close together and merging. The lower one has a very bright nucleus with a single bright arm looping away CCW to the East and then down to the SW. The weaker upper galaxy, which could just be part of the lower galaaxy, has a weak arm swing CCW from N to E. The two galaxies are connected by a knotty bar; and there are at least two weak spiral arms extending rather far away from the grouping.

Notes: A spiral galaxy probably seen at about 45 degrees from face-on. Has a long bright bar or arm structure in the EW direction, with weak arms exteding from the ends. In addition there is a very long tidal tail extending to the E. There is another galaxy to the SW that shows no obvious connection to the central galaxy. This galaxy shows no structure.

Notes: Two (spiral?) galaxies in close contact, with a dramatic tidal tail heading WNW. There is also a companion to the WSW, which might be connected to the others by a very faint tidal tail. Would need longer exposure to be sure of this. Image is badly aimed due to plate solve failure.

Notes: Two galaxies colliding. One is edge on, looks like a jet coming from the other. The other is probably a spiral, but cannot see arms. Supposedly the outer ring is broken, and there is a light area in my picture that could qualify.

Notes: Spiral seen at an angle, with a particularly bright arm to the E. Slightly brighter area to the NW could be a tidal tail, heading in the general direction of a companion, which is a knotty spiral galaxy seen face on.

Notes: Two very small galaxies, with faint bridge between them. Arp's original prints barely show ejecta, but not visible in my pix. I would need much longer exposures, better seeing, and better resolution to see the effect.

Notes: Two spirals seen edge-on, in line with each other and connected by a tidal tail. The galaxy on the W has a bulge near the nucleus. There are two other galaxies to the W that are not connected to the central pair. The target is not properly centered in this image.

Notes: Very fuzzy spiral seen edge-on. Has two pronounced features, perhaps separate nucleii. There might be faint jets to the W and E, but they are scarcely visible here. There is a companion to the SSW.

Notes: Very small spiral with slight curvature. Very faint extensions to SW. Foreground object is presumably a star.

Notes: Two very small galaxies in very close association, with a third edge-on a short distance away to the W. One of the two looks like a crescent moon. Resolution is too low to get much out of this picture, despite very good seeing.

Notes: Spiral galaxy with lots of knots. Possible very faint extension to the E.

Notes: Rather featureless elliptical (or very weak spiral). Has very slight absorption on the SW that separates the main part of the galaxy from the outer parts. Possible very dim dwarf galaxy on the E.

Notes: Spiral galaxy seen face-on. Arms are not particularly distinct, but do extend quite far from galaxy. A longer exposure would probably reveal a lot more. Arp noticed a faint absorption lane extending NW from the nucleus. It can been seen in this photo upon careful inspection.

Notes: Spiral with one long broad plume on the E. The spiral arms are weak, except for one heavy area to the W.

Notes: Elliptical galaxy in center, with cloud extending all around, and slightly longer to the E, where there is a dwarf galaxy. Then seems to loop upward and back toward the W, May also be an extension off this loop that points back to the ENE. In addition, another galaxy is off to the left; but not obviously connected to the central one.

Notes: Large spiral with one very heavy short arm on S, and a stronger area in the ENE Faint arms extend a considerable distance from the nucleus, especially to the NE.

Notes: Largely featureless elliptical. Slightly asymmetrical with brighter areas to N and NW Perhaps slight spiral arm extending CCW out from W, and a broader dimmer counter arm extending CW from the E.

Notes: Diffuse structure, with a nucleus in the N and a curving loop on the S. Several companions. One to the ENE is small, shows no connection. Another farther away to the NNW is a spiral seen edge-on. It appears to have a tail extending to the SSW, but it might be an artifact. It seems to lead to another companion to the WSW of the main galaxy.

Notes: Spiral seen face on. Arms are very diffuse and extend a considerable distance from the nucleus. Possible absorption features to the SW.

Notes: Two galaxies. Central one is a spiral with some knots and a slight protuberance on the S, There could be a hint of a tidal tail at the bottom leading off towards the second galaxy to the E, which is an elliptical with no features. There might be a slight ring far outside the nucleus; or it could be an artifact. (But the Arp Atlas confirms the ring.) This photo is a stack of just 3 images (15 minutes total), so image quality could be better.

Notes: Elliptical galaxy with several companions; but no obvious connections. Arp saw a subtle concentric ring around the galaxy, but it's a stretch to call it a ring in my picture. Spiral galaxy to the NW.

Notes: A chain of galaxies. Largest is elliptcal. Above it is a somewhat smaller elliptical, with material connecting them weakly. Arp saw these as circular rings. Farther off to SW is an edge-on spiral, and to NE are a pair of distant spirals

Notes: A low contrast extended galaxy. Said to be a ring galaxy, but ring isn't really visible. The bright object superimposed on the galaxy is a star. The edge-on galaxy to SE is not part of Arp's object.

Notes: Diffuse irregular structure with no particular features. Many of the features that Arp saw are not in this picture due to poor seeing.

Notes: Elongated in NNE to SSW direction, knotty structure with bright nucleus and a diffuse outer area which would need longer exposures to do bring it out. A slightly brighter "knot", which is just slightly off center to the W, could be a dwarf galaxy merging with the main galaxy.

Notes: A spiral with one heavy arm that starts in W and curls around the N to reach over to an elliptical or small spiral galaxy in the E. Two other galxies in the same FOV have no obvious connection.

Notes: Two galaxies very close, with long tails arcing away in opposite directions. Several other interesting but unrelated galaxies in the area.

Notes: A half dozen galaxies. The two in the center are very close and probably merging. One is slightly oblong in the E-W direction. The other to its W is a spiral with two CW arms extending from N and S sides. To the WNW is a spiral with a knotty stsructure. Two elliptical galaxies are to the ENE and ESE, and there are two edge-on spirals farther away. Other than the central two galaxies, none of these galaxies seem to be connected.

Notes: Two galaxies merging. They are too close together to make out much detail. There is a bright area to the ENE that could be a third dwarf galxy that is participating in the process. There are also hints of tidal tails, but we would need longer exposures to make sure they weren't artifacts.

Notes: Spiral on W is edge-on, while spiral on E is face-on. W spiral is warped and has knotty appearance. Do not appear to be connected. Far to SE is another faint spiral.

Notes: Linear features stretched out in a broken line. The one to the SE is a spiral seen edge-on. The others look more like a tidal tail with bends in it. But foreground stars may be giving the wrong impression. Diffuse material connects everything.

Notes: Highly distorted spiral seen edge on, with knotty structure. Could be several merging galaxies that are too close together to see them individually. This target needs better seeing to do it justice.

Notes: Very weak long oval oriented NNE/SSW, with strong areas at either end. The N area could be a foreground star, while the S area seems broader and might be another galaxy.

Notes: Chaotic area with no discernible spiral structure. Slightly elongated in NNE-SSW direction. No sign of any perturbing galaxy. The challenge is to "note the linear loop of emission regions". It is not clear what is meant by this.

Notes: In the center is a highly irregular galaxy with many knots. It has a stubby tail to the ESE, and a weak tail curving up to the N where there is a smaller galaxy. The core of that galaxy is rather featureless, but there are many knots on the S side between it and the larger galaxy.

Notes: Two very irregular galaxies interacting. The centermost is slightly larger, appears to be a spiral with many knots, some of which form an arc on the S. The other galaxy is to the ENE, could be an edge-on spiral. It has weak tails pushing to the ESE and WNW.

Notes: Two galaxies. The larger is a spiral with two arms. One starts on the S and swings W, while the other starts on the NW and swiings CCW all the way around to parallel the other arm. The net effect is two arms on the same side of the galaxy, with no arm in the NW. The second galaxy is highly disstorted spiral, whose NW arm might be leading back to the larger galaxy.

Notes: Two spirals interacting. The larger one has an absorption band heading to N, and a dust lane circling the nucleus on that side. Its nucleus is off-center to the N. The companion is to the S, and is connected to the other.

Notes: Two edge-on spirals that are merging, forming a < pattern. Upper galaxy has a tidal tail extending to the W that ends in a tee shape. Diffuse clouds connect the galaxies.

Notes: A large somewhat chaotic spiral with several pronounced knots on the arms. It has a smaller companion to the ENE, which is even more chaotic. I cannot see a bridge between them, but it seems likely that they encountered one another in the past. The image is centered on the smaller galaxy by mistake.

Notes: Two galaxies very close. The larger is an edge-on spiiral with faint arms extending pretty far to the E The more compact galaxy below it is part of this association.

Notes: Two galaxies. The central one, which is seen face-on, has a knot on the NW edge, and faint arms extending in CCW direction. Lower arm extends W, has a knot in it. (There may be two arms here.) Upper arm extends E towards the second galaxy, which is seen edge-on. In turn that galaxy's lower right end extends back toward the central galaxy and seems to connect with it.

Notes: Spiral galaxy seen edge-on, oriented N/S, but quite distorted. Has a broad tidal tail on the N side running at an angle to the main axis, and a curved tidal tail on the S with a hook near the end. The latter points towards a companion spiral, which could have been responsible for the disturbances at the larger galaxy.

Notes: Two galaxies close together. Edge-on spiral to the S shows an extension to the SE, and possibly a bridge to the other galaxy on the NW. The other galaxy is a face on spiral with broad arms to the SE and NW.

Notes: Two interacting galaxies at nearly right angles. On the N is a vertical galaxy seen edge-on, with an especially strong arm to the N, and a knotty structure in the core. It is said to have a vertical filament extending to the N, but this is barely visible in my photo. To the S is a spiral seen at an angle. It has weak arms that are slightly stronger to the ENE and WSW. It is surrounded by a very faint ring.

Notes: Elliptical galaxy in the center, and edge-on spiral to the SW, connected by a thin tidal tail. The tail also extends further to the SW beyond the spiral. This picture does not seem to be aimed correctly.

Notes: There are 3 galaxies of interest here. Largest is spiral with slight brightening in one arm on NNE. Faint arms extend out as far as the galaxy to its W, which is spiral seen edge-on. To its NNE is another spiral with greatly disturbed arms, both on S and N. And there's actually a fourth galaxy to its NNW. Plate solve failed, so this target is not properly centered.

Notes: Two galaxies. Central one (NGC 7469) is a spiral seen face-on, with a pronounced ring structure. There is a bright area on the E that could be a foreground star. To the NNE is spiral seen edge-on. It has a faint extension to the NW. There may also be a dwarf galaxy very close to the NE.

Notes: Appears to be two galaxies in collision. Broad arms lead away from each. Arp 296 is to the NE. There is an even fainter galaxy to the E. There is supposed to be very thin line joining the two companions, which is arguably in my picture if you know to look for it.

Notes: Spiral with a smaller companion to the NE. There seems to be bar in the center, oriented NW to SE The spiral has two arms, and perhaps a third fainter one on the SW side. The arms apparently don't connect to the companion, which is arguably a spiral too.

Notes: Faint knotty smudge in the center, and a spiral to the SW. The spiral has knotty arms, which might extend rather far from the nucleus. Arp sees a diffuse hooked counter-tail here. It is on the N side, and is arguably visible here. But one needs higher resolution and/or longer exposure time to separate the tail from the background.

Notes: Three objects in a row. The center-most object is a pair of galaxies connected by a diffuse cloud. Extending to the NW is a thin weak plume that lines up with the other objects. It might be an artifact, since it isn't in another picture of this area. To the SW is Arp133, which is a spiral with some knotty structure seen face-on. There is a hint of a connection back to the central pair. Then further to the SW is another spiral seen edge-on.

Notes: Two mostly featureless ovals embedded in a common cloud. Slight tails extends from N, and there are signs of some material to the SE. Absorption features that Arp saw are not apparent here.

Notes: There is a very tightly spaced group of 3 galaxies near the center. There is another group to its SSW, and ther are other galaxies nearby. All these objects comprise Arp 311. The groups are surrounded by diffuse clouds, but no other structure apparent.

Notes: Several galaxies. In the center is one galaxy clustered close to other bright objects that could be stars or other galaxies. To the NNE is another galaxy near two other stars or galaxies. Each grouping is surrounded by a compact cloud of material. Arp saw a faint bridge connecting the two groups, but I don't. There are several other galaxies in the area that don't seem to be connected. The whole area is aka Arp310.

Notes: Two ellipticals close together, with material connecting them An edge-on spiral to the SW, and possible elliptical to NE. These may not be connected to the central pair.

Notes: Three galaxies somewhat far apart from each other. Central galaxy is most prominent. It seems to be a highly perturbed spiral, with arms projecting to NNE and S. To the S is a rather strong but featureless oval shape; and to the WNW is another edge-on spiral that seems to be broken into two parts. One part to the NE is stronger and more compact, while the other part is more extended.

Notes: Four galaxies. Largest has a triangular shape, with one point heading S towards a faint edge-on spiral, and the other pointing W more or less towards another large galaxy to the NW. That galaxy is oblong and irregular, with a possible very faint arm pointing back to the largest galaxy. In addition, a very small faint galaxy to the ESE There could be a slight hint of tidal material joining the two; but would need a much longer exposure to be sure.

Notes: Cluster of three galaxies. Centermost is a featureless elliptical. To SW is an edge-on spiral, with a conspicuous dusts lane separating an outer arm from the rest of the galaxy. Farther to the W is an S-shaped spiral with thin weak arms extending quite far from the nucleus.

Notes: Spiral with strong bar and extended arms. The S arm is well defined while the N arm fans out more. Many knots and dust lanes in the arms. This should actually be cataloged under Arp16, aka M66, which is just one member of the Leo Triplet. To do the whole of Arp317 properly, I would need to use a shorter focal length scope.

Notes: Stephan's Quintet. NGC 7320 is large object at the lower left, a spiral seen at an angle. Bright object inside it is a star. NGC7318A and B are the pair of galaxies that are in a horizontal line and quite close to each other. One bright arm swings out from A going CCW from NE to SE, while a dimmer arm swings out from N side of B and heading towards NGC7319. That in turn is known to be a spiral galaxy but is too diffuse to see here. But there is a very faint long arm leading to the ESE. The picture is not aimed particularly well.

Notes: A chain of three closely spaced galaxies. The two smallest to the SE have very little structure. The third might have spiral arms, with one faint tidal tail heading further to the NW. All galaxies seem to be embedded in the same diffuse cloud. This target needs better resolution and longer exposure time to do it jusstice.

Notes: A short chain of galaxies. Strongest is a featureless elliptical. Extending to SW are three galaxies in a curved chain. Two of these are spirals that are nearly touching and tilted with respect to each other.

Notes: A vertical chain of several stars and/or galaxies, connected by tidal material. This target needs higher resolution to do it justice.

Notes: A chain of three galaxies oriented N-S. The center-most is spiral seen edge-on, while the other two are ellipticals. Fairly extensive halos, but they don't seem to connect. My image is not framed well. Turning the camera 90° and recentering the scope would allow two more large galaxies and many smaller ones to appear in the image. My database uses RA and dec values that do not center the whole chain very well. A better center would be NGC 383 (the bottom of my picture).

Notes: Spiral seen at an angle. Arms are not distinct. Fairly bright core, surrounded by diffuse area. Arp saw the arms as being thin and wispy, but it's not obvious from this picture.

Notes: A featureless spiral seen on edge, with a very faint companion to the E -- possibly a distant galaxy. The challenge is to see rings surrounding the core, but they aren't apparent in this picture.

Notes: This is aka M82. Spiral with highly disturbed central area, both in nucleus and outer reaches. Absorption feature cuts across middle. Considerable nebulosity far away from the core. Would need an Ha filter and/or longer exposure times to do that region justice. There be quasars here, but not in my photo.
