The primary is NGC 1023 and the "fragment" on the east end, south of the primary axis, is NGC 1023A. 1023 is yellowish and 1023A is noticeably bluer. Also, 1023 has a very smooth texture while 1023A is much more knotty or granular. 1023A also has a number of small absorption regions which appear to be forming a rough ring around the outer parts of the galaxy.
