Arp 135 (NGC 1023 & A)

  Arp 135 is a member of the class E-like Galaxies with Nearby Fragments.  The Atlas note says "similar nebulosity about one diameter further east" but that is off both my field and the Atlas field.  The primary is NGC 1023 and the "fragment" on the east end, south of the primary axis, is NGC 1023A.
