arp 174 (ngc 3068)

    arp 174 is in the class narrow counter-tails.  the atlas note is "smaller galaxy very condensed."  in fact, except for a tiny bit of fuzz, it could pass for a star.  the galaxy near the bottom of the field is mitchell anonymous 958+2846.

the tail on arp 174 is extremely faint, just a barely detectable glow.  this was the longest exposure in my initial set of images, 84 minutes, but has since been exceeded by other images.
