Description

Arp 120 with NGC 4438 and NGC 4435.  Arp felt that NGC 4435 was the galaxy responsible for NGC 4438's strange shape, but more current thought suggests it was the nearby elliptical M86.  I noticed 3 other (somewhat) easy galaxies within the boundaries of NGC 4438 and labeled them in the mouseover.  The galaxy within the "wishbone" does not have a designation that I can find so I labeled it anonymous.

I'm hoping that one day (soon) I'll figure out flats with the ASI294MM-Pro.
