400/500mm - 18" (7/11/10): fairly faint, moderately large, elongated 5:2 N-S, 0.8'x0.3', even surface brightness. The extension on the NE end, which was not seen, may be a very faint companion. A mag 13 star lies 2.3' NNE. Classified by Arp as an "Integral Sign" system, though this may be an interacting pair.

900/1200mm - 48" (5/15/12): VV 89a, the brighter component of Arp 32, appeared moderately bright to fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 5:2 ~N-S, ~1.0'x0.25'. It was brighter at the north end and dimmed at the south tip. The galaxy has an unusual banana shape, slightly bending out towards the west! A very faint star (or stellar knot) is just east of the north end. VV 89b (the attached northern component) appeared fairly faint, small, slightly elongated N-S, ~20"x15".
