DescriptionThis is one of the last observations using my Evo 9.25 before it was lost via an accident. At the time, I had been practicing EAA for less than 60 days which accounts for the poor color balance. Image is L-R reversed due to use of a mirror diagonal in the image train. Corrected for the Arp catalog comparison image only. Arp remarks that "Comp. is NGC 770. Faint material toward each of two dwarf comps." I believe the two dwarf comps he refers two are in a rough line running down and to the left from NGC 770 in my inverted image
