arp 16 (m66; ngc 3627)

  arp 16 is the first of the messier objects to appear in the arp atlas.  arp classifies it as a spiral galaxy with detached segments.  the atlas note is "see also 317.  large concentration at end of s arm".  this is one of the two images still included on the site which predates my real start date for this effort.  the image was acquired on a cold, windy night in february of 2003.

arp 16 (m66) is also included in the leo triplet, arp 317.  m65 and ngc 3628 are the other two members of the triplet.
