In a quartet (observed) of galaxies with very similar redshifts z = .034. CGCG 169-036 is 7' SE, UGC 10679 is 8.5' ENE and CGCG 169-038 is 11' ENE.

This asymmetric spiral is assumed to be a merger remnant and displays "a prominent tail pointing to the SW and a faint residual interacting feature at the opposite direction." A companion (LEDA 200340) 2' NNE is assumed to have been involved in the interaction.

600/800mm - 24" (7/18/17): at 375x; fairly faint but very small, only 12" diameter. An ill-defined, very faint extension to the southwest [tidal tail on the SDSS] was just visible!
