Description

This is a heavy crop of the pair of galaxies making up Arp 123 (in Arp's Elliptical and Elliptical-like Galaxies class).  I was able to include FGC 534 (AKA: LEDA 17217, MCG 02-14-015) from the Flat Galaxies catalog by Karachentsev, 1993.

These Arp's are certainly tiny and faint and some are at the very limit for EAA with my 130mm refractor.
