This image was taken under poor conditions as I was imaging through haze or light fog. This caused some very nasty halos around the brighter stars. I...

It's not often an amateur observatory gets to correct the astronomical literature but it appears my little project of imaging in color the Arp galaxies I can...

I can't top changing astronomical literature as my last Arp did so I'm just continuing processing January 2009 images. With longer nights coming I'm likely...

Arp 327, also known as Hickson 34, is a small group of 4 galaxies headed by NGC 1875, a very large E2 galaxy with a possible AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei). ...

Arp 247 is a pair of interacting galaxies; IC 2339 and IC 2338, left to right and top to bottom. A common arm connects them on the west side. At least Arp...

ARP 335 (NGC 3509) is a possible double galaxy that Arp put in his Miscellaneous category, M82 being the well known galaxy in this classification. Looks to...

Arp 292, IC 575: What is it like to be run over by a hoard of geostationary satellites? This one is in the geostationary satellite belt as seen from my...

Arp 187 is under Arp's Galaxies (not classifiable as S or E): Narrow filaments classification. It is otherwise known as MCG-02-13-040A, a radio galaxy about...

NGC 7080 is a barred spiral some 200 million light-years behind the constellation of Vulpecula so close to the border with Pegasus that the left part of the...

UGC 11007 is a mostly one armed spiral in Draco. It's distance is unknown. While it shares the field with two NGC galaxies they appear far closer leaving...

NGC 5774-5 are a pair of interacting galaxies in Virgo. Papers from 50 years ago considered them non interacting, an opinion that has changed over the...

IC 1262 anchors a small cluster of galaxies. I've mentioned before I sometimes get requests, this one came from Sakib Rasool, a name I'm mentioning a lot of...

NGC 7640 is a nearby near edge on galaxy (nearby for galaxies I normally image) in Andromeda. I was unable to find an agreed upon distance for this one. ...

Astronomers have created quite a Tower of Babel when it comes to designating objects. Most carry a lot of different catalog designations. Major objects are...

NGC 7250 is considered to be a merging pair of galaxies. Seems worthy of Arp's list but wasn't included. It is in the constellation of Lacerta about 40 to...
