Arp 93 (NGC 7684 & 85)
|
|
Arp 93 continues the class Spirals with Elliptical
Galaxy Companions on Arms. The Atlas note is "long faint
plume bifurcates from arm, E comp. in other arm. Suggested rotation of
axis of spiral". The long plume is very faint, being just visible in the
negative image but fairly obvious in the false color image. I find the
little "asterism" near the south side of the field, SSW of Arp 93, to be very
interesting. As far as I can tell, it consists of three stars and a
galaxy.
