Arp86 (NGC7752 and 7753); interacting galaxy pair in Pegasus
Sketch and Details by Jeff Young
Number 86 from Halton Arp’s catalog of peculiar galaxies, this interacting pair is a bit like a miniature M51. An arm extends out from the left of the core of the larger galaxy (through the dim field star) and then curves down to meet the smaller companion at right angles to its elongation. Sadly, this arm was too dim to record with my instrument.
