400/500mm - 18" (7/24/11): This is the fainter component of Arp 173, an interacting pair. At 225x it appeared extremely faint and small, round, 10" diameter, required averted vision and concentration to periodically pop out. I missed this galaxy three weeks earlier from GSSP. The sharply defined tidal tail to the south was not seen.
600/800mm - 24" (6/21/17): at 375x; the fainter member of Arp 173 appeared faint, very small, round, 12" diameter. It was just visible continuously with averted vision. Situated 51" SSW of larger and brighter Arp 173 NED2 = VV 296a. The tidal tail wasn't seen.
