arp 49 (ngc 5665)

  arp 49 is the first of dr. arp's class spirals with small high surface brightness (hsb) companions on arms.  there are a couple of knots on the east edge which could be companions but it's hard to tell.  i don't find it really obvious on the atlas image, either.  the note says "appearance of wake from stellar object in e arm" and that does not help much. 

the field size of the combined image was set by the starlightxpress mx716.
