OK, if the Hubble can capture this object, I'm pretty sure my C11 can't. But I wanted to try anyway. Very small and at the edge of my "light dome" (lights from downtown Minneapolis MN), this was not an easy object. But what is kinda cool is seeing this picture then seeing what the Hubble can do and that gives you an appreciation what you are seeing. So here it is. Also doesn't seem to be too popular an object for CCD imaging.

17x10 min subs, 2x2 binning, C11 @ f/11.5, ST-8XME, AO-8

That was a worthwhile project, Chris.
"A man's reach should exceed his grasp...." after all.
Arp only lists three galaxies with associated rings and you got one now.
Well done.
