Arp 7, DSS
Arp 7, MCG-3-23-9. Hya. Visible in finder eyepiece (28 mm). In 8 mm, bright starlike core. Arm from W side CCW NW and N. Opposite arm is a straight segment pointing SE from E side of the core. NPM1G-160258 galaxy [PGC 8960068]: small, lies SSE. 5.5 mm: Three faint stars stretch in a line from N to E of core of MCG, middle one faintest. VV 28b is glimpsed as an incompletely resolved WNW, nebulous component of a pair with threshold star SE of the MCG core. Unequal double star SE of NPM1G is resolved, threshold component S.
Arp 257, SDSS
Arp 257, UGC 4638. Hya. 8 mm. Main component (MCG+0-23-5) elongated ESE-WNW. Faint star NNE. Companion or detached "clump" (MCG -6) is N of -5, half the distance to the star. Small, diffuse. In 5.5 mm, main component has a sharp, enhanced SE corner, but no additional details are seen.
Arp 275, DSS
Arp 275, NGC 2881. Hya. 5.5 mm. Overall elongated NW-SE, 2 stars E. Fainter star on S edge, intermittent star on SW edge. Dark lane bisects the galaxy, running NE from the last star. SE part (VV 293a) larger and somewhat brighter.
Arp 5, SDSS
Sextans area. Arp 5, NGC 3664, Leo. 5.5 mm. 3 stars of increasing brightness on a line SE. Main part of the galaxy greatly extended NE-SW and divided into the SW, long sub-part and NE, short sub-part. Faint stars close NE and SW. Extension from SW end of the main part to SE, ending in an intermittent knot.
Arp 44, SDSS
Arp 44, IC 609, Sex. [5.5 mm.] Main component slightly extended NE-SW and seems to have a core on the E side. Faint star S. Small secondary component N of it.
Arp 53 field, DSS
Arp 53, NGC 3290, Hya. 5.5 mm. Bright star N, on edge of field. Faint star NW, threshold stars closer NNW and NE. Main component extended slightly EW. Small companion NW, about 1/3 of the distance to the star.
