UGC 6062 IC 602
Leo
☀13.2mag
Ø 78'' / 54''

CGCG 094-033 lies 6' ESE. It appeared extremely faint, very small, seems elongated (difficult to confirm) NW-SE, 15"x10", requires averted. A mag 12 star is 1.9' due west.

Lewis Swift discovered IC 607 = Sw. VIII-52 on 29 Mar 1889 and recorded "eeF; pS; R; * near sp; 2 near sf point to it; ee difficult." His position is 2' too far north, but the description is a perfect match with Arp 43.

600/800mm - 24" (3/28/17): at 260x; fairly faint, moderately large, round, low surface brightness, ~50" diameter, slightly brighter core, very faint nucleus (possibly stellar). A mag 14.3 star is 45" SW. A 1' pair of mag 12/12.5 stars 3'-4' SE is collinear with the galaxy. Located 28' SW of NGC 3239 = Arp 263.
