Description

This is the first of the Arp galaxies I've imaged (aside from the ones everyone images, like the Leo Triplet, M51, etc.).

At mag 11.9, it's one of the dimmer targets I've attempted, and I'm pretty happy with how much structural detail I could bring out with just one night of imaging. You can clearly see the bifurcated arm that earned this galaxy its spot in Arp's atlas.

There are quite a few other galaxies in the field, including the edge-on spiral sometimes referred to as NGC 2523a, above NGC 2523 in my image.
