Arp 92 / NGC 7603

Observed on
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)

NGC 2715: a Vera Rubin Galaxy

Observed on
Sixth captured of 21 galaxies in Vera Rubin’s famous research paper from 1980 analyzing galaxy rotation postulating Dark Matter

NGC 1035: a Vera Rubin Galaxy

Observed on
Fifth captured of 21 galaxies in Vera Rubin’s famous research paper from 1980 analyzing galaxy rotation postulating Dark Matter

NGC 1087: a Vera Rubin Galaxy

Observed on
Fourth captured of 21 galaxies in Vera Rubin’s famous research paper from 1980 analyzing galaxy rotation postulating Dark Matter

NGC 2742: a Vera Rubin Galaxy

Observed on
Third captured of 21 galaxies in Vera Rubin’s famous research paper from 1980 analyzing galaxy rotation postulating Dark Matter

NGC 753: a Vera Rubin Galaxy

Observed on
Second captured of 21 galaxies in Vera Rubin’s famous research paper from 1980 analyzing galaxy rotation postulating Dark Matter.

NGC 7541 / 7581: a Vera Rubin Galaxy

Observed on
First captured of 21 galaxies in Vera Rubin’s famous research paper from 1980 analyzing galaxy rotation postulating Dark Matter.

NGC 660 Revisit

Observed on
Polar ringed lenticular galaxy, tough EAA target for an OSC camera.

Arp 37 / M77 Revisit

Observed on
Challenging observation given hugely bright Seyfert nucleus and Arp’s ambiguous description of a low surface brightness companion.

Arp 31 / IC 167

Observed on
One of six “integral sign” galaxies in the Atlas
