Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 1689 is probably an example of the so-called "polar ring galaxies", similar to NGC 2685. See, for example, Hagen-Thorn and Reshetnikov (1997A&A...319..430H), Cox and Sparke (2004AJ....128.2013C), and Sil'chenko (1998A&A...330..412S), and references therein for more information on these extraordinary galaxies.
