Arp Peculiar Galaxy # 112


Arp 112 is a very dim, difficult galaxy to photograph. It is more commonly known as NGC 7805 and NGC 7806. NGC 7806 is particularly dim. Because this pair is so dim, I am only posting an inverted image. The fuzzy star next to NGC 7805 is simply that, a star that simply appears fuzzy.

Observation notes:
2006 September 16, 21 hours 50 minutes local time.
Sky -- excellent. 4 out of 5. Dark sky. No moon.
5 minute exposure on 3 megapixel CCD.
14 inch Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope with 3910mm focal length.
