Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Fifteen years ago, going over the field on the DSS, I interpreted this as a compact group of 4-6 galaxies. Examining it now (June 2014) on the three DSS2 images shows it to be a blue, probably dwarf, late-type barred spiral with very knotty arms. Coincidentally, there is a background Sb about 30 arcseconds to the west (that probably appeared as a part of the image on Stewart's plate) that I took to be the second-brightest galaxy in the group.
