Back in the 1970s, Vincent Reddish was appointed by the United Kingdom Science Research Council to plan and build a 48-inch Schmidt telescope in Australia in order to survey the southern skies which, at that time, had not been widely explored. When the telescope was constructed, a huge number of new and interesting objects were imaged over its operational lifetime. To assist with producing a catalogue of these objects, Reddish invited Halton Arp to Edinburgh to assist. While Arp was very enthusiastic about the task, it was much more formidable than expected, so Barry Madore was asked to assist. Despite improvements in scanning the plates over this period, the task was still enormous, so the decision was made to limit the catalogue to unusual objects that were located from the south celestial pole up to a declination -22 degrees.  After revisions and corrections, the final catalogue was published in 1987 and is called “A Catalogue of Southern Peculiar Galaxies and Associations”. The catalogue includes hundreds of images of the objects scanned by Arp and Madore. However, few of them have been imaged by amateur astronomers. The objects are small and not very appealing aesthetically. However, they are interesting nonetheless. As a result, i have created a collection which contains images of these peculiar southern galaxies. I hope to add more of these peculiar southern galaxies to Astrobin over time and hope that people in northern latitudes may like to see objects they would not have easy access to. Many thanks to Gary Imm who has inspired me to do this.
