Herewith, a database of every observation I’ve ever made, most recent first! Click for more detail, or on the page links at the bottom to review more, 12 at a time, in descending chronological order…
Arp 304 / NGC 1241 and 1242
Two interacting galaxies, but the only “peculiar” aspact is one arm sticking out slightly.
Arp 290 / IC 195 and 196
Obviously not “wind” but it sure looks like it.
Arp 276 / NGC 935 and IC 1801
Two “interacting” galaxies, according to Arp. Note he hates saying “merging”.
Arp 92 / NGC 7603
A cornerstone of Arp’s “Intrinsic Redshift” debate. The companion galaxy has a very different redshift, and in 2001 two Spanish astronomers discovered 2 quasars perfectly aligned in the filament (not visible in my or Arp’s original capture)
