Description

NGC 289 is designated AM 0050-312 in the Catalogue of Southern Peculiar Galaxies and placed in category 1a which lists galaxies with interacting companions with well-defined arms. Arp and Madore begin this catalogue with such galaxies so that the effects of the interaction on the arms can be well seen. The interaction in this particular case is rather obvious.
This image is the best of 8 hours of LRGB data. Most of it was discarded due to ongoing issues with dew and light pollution.
