Description

A nice and small Arp Peculiar Galaxy for the AP155 (7′.2 × 4′.3). It looks like a comma to me. The extended arm is due to the gravitational pull of the dwarf elliptical Galaxy NGC770 located above it.

EXPTIME     = 10320 / Total luminance exposure time in seconds.      
LUM_EXP     = 240 / Average luminance exposure time.

LUM_DARK    = 30 / Darks used for luminance.                      
LUM_FLAT    = 30 / Flats used for luminance.                      
LUM_BIAS    = 25 / Flat-darks used for luminance.                 
LUM_TEMP    = -5 / Set temperature used for luminance.
