400/500mm - 17.5" (7/17/93): faint, fairly small, very elongated 3:1 NW-SE, 1.2'x0.4', even surface brightness. Forms a close pair with slightly brighter and larger UGC 12914 1' SW. Two mag 13 stars are parallel to the galaxy 1' off the NE side.

600/800mm - 24" (9/14/12): the fainter member of the Taffy Galaxies appeared fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 NW-SE, 1.0'x0.4', broad concentration. At the NW end is a short, faint extension or arm that extends further west, so the galaxy does not have a symmetric appearance.

900/1200mm - 48" (11/1/13): the smaller, northeastern component of the Taffy pair appeared fairly bright, moderately large, very elongated 3:1 NW-SE, broad concentration. Appears asymmetric with an arm on the north side bending west and then dimming out as it hooks slightly south. This arm and the hooking arm in UGC 12915 do not merge.
