Like the original "Taffy" galaxies UGC 12914/5, these post-collisional spiral galaxies are joined by a synchrotron radio bridge whose brightness contours resemble stretched bands of taffy. Most of the system's H I was stripped by the collision ~50,000,000 years ago and now lies in the bridge.

600/800mm - 24" (8/30/16): at 375x; faint to fairly faint, fairly small, very elongated ~3:1 WNW-ESE, 0.55'x0.2'. A mag 16 star is superimposed at the ESE end. Forms the western component of the "Taffy 2" galaxies with UGC 816 45" NE.

24" (10/13/12): fairly faint, fairly small, elongated 5:2 WNW-ESE, 0.5'x0.2', brighter nucleus. This galaxy is the western member of an interacting "Taffy" pair with UGC 816 just 50" NE. Slightly fainter CGCG 551-011 (non-interacting) lies 2.2' WSW forming the triple group KTG 4.

900/1200mm - 48" (11/1/13): moderately bright and large, elongated ~5:2 WNW-ESE, ~0.6'x0.25', contains a small brighter core. At 610x and 697x, the galaxy appears asymmetric, with the arm on the WNW side dimming to a low surface brightness but extending noticeably further than the ESE arm and increasing the major axis to 0.8' or 0.9'. A mag 16 star is superimposed near the ESE end. First in an interacting "Taffy" pair with UGC 816 0.9' NE.
