I had earlier supposed that this was simply a double galaxy. But on the DSS2 and SDSS images, it is clearly a triple with a red star superposed on the eastern edge of the eastern galaxy. The two brightest galaxies have the same redshift (z = 0.0679); the fainter southern galaxy appears to be connected to the eastern by a bridge. There are other still fainter galaxies in the area which I suspect are mostly background objects.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
