Even more from Igor
I just asked Martha Haynes, one of the authors of the Arecibo
HI-survey, to look at a possible HI-signal from "Johnson 1".
If been successful, it may give us its radial velocity and
kinematic distance. I am waiting for Martha's replay at the
beginning of next week.
Congratulations with the finding so dim dwarf galaxy.
Best wishes,
Igor Karachentsev
I'll pass on anything they find.

from Arecibo team to search for HI-signal from your object,
of course, if you agree."
So it appears I have the Russian's interest. But not likely to learn much until next year.
