Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Though I have labeled only the brightest galaxy in this compact group as IC 1370, it's possible that all the objects here (seven are galaxies and one is a superposed star) contributed to the visual image that Javelle found and measured. Three of the galaxies are very faint, though. While they make the photographic image quite spectacular (see especially the SDSS color image), they don't add much to the total light of the system.
