400/500mm - 18" (7/12/10): brighter member of the interacting Arp 101 pair (connected by extremely faint plumes to UGC 10164 2.3' SSW). At 285x appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 SW-NE, 0.6'x0.3'. Contains a round, small bright core with fainter extensions. Situated directly between a mag 11 star 1.6' S and a mag 12.8 star 1.1' NW. IC 1168 lies 10' NW.

600/800mm - 24" (6/21/17): at 375x; the main component of Arp 101 appeared moderately bright, elongated 2:1 or 5:2 SW-NE, ~40"x20", contains a very small bright core. A mag 13 star [double on the SDSS] is 1' NW. The low surface brightness tidal plume to the northeast was not visible. Forms a close, interacting pair with UGC 10164 2.3' SSW.
