400/500mm - 18" (7/10/10): this is the western component of Arp 109 with MCG +12-15-018. At 285x, it appeared very faint, fairly small, round, 25" diameter, lower surface brightness than MCG +12-15-018 just 1.8' ESE. Located just 4.5' E of mag 7.5 HD 141987 and the star had to be placed outside of the field to view this pair of faint galaxies. Also in the field are MCG +12-15-020 and IC 1146, both to the SE (further from the star).
