From Virginia Beach , Arp 284 is not observable – it will reach its highest point in the sky during daytime and is 10° below the horizon at dawn. All times shown in Virginia Beach local time.

2024年1月21日 · Arp 284 (VV 51) is part of Arp’s ‘Double Galaxies – Infall and Attraction’ class. This one consists of: NGC 7715 (UGC 12700, PGC 71878, VV 51b and others) – the spiral at the left. These appear to be located approximately 115 million light-years away in Pisces. The bright star below this group is * 16 Psc (HIP 116495 and many others).

Arp classified this object in the category of Double Galaxies – Infall and Attraction. I captured this same object recently (shown here) with my Tak130, so the 2 images are a nice comparison of the differences in capturing a small object with a medium-size refractor vs. a large SCT.

Arp 284 NGC 7714 & 7715 Galaxies in Pisces: Date: October 4-5, 2023: Exposure: LRGB 100:35:40:35 (3.5 hours, 1/2 crop) Camera: STL11000M with AstroDon Gen II filters : Telescope: ASA 10N f/3.7 on AP900GTO CP3: Guiding: Remote guide …

2024年10月26日 · This object is a pair of interacting spiral galaxies located 115 million light years away in the constellation of Pisces at a declination of +2 degrees. The adjacent intense bright star in the foreground is the 5.6 magnitude star 16 Piscium, about 100 light years away. NGC 7715 is seen edge on at the left and distorted NGC 7714 is on the right.

Arp 284 is a pair of interacting galaxies with about the same red shift that gives a distance estimate of 141 million light years (Hubble Constant of 62 Km/sec per Mpc). NGC 7714 appears to be a highly distorted Spiral Galaxy.

NGC 7714/5 (Arp 284) At optical (red) wavelengths, the peculiar galaxy NGC 7714/5 looks like this: NGC 7714 is to the right (west) and NGC 7715 to the east. The galaxies are separated by 2 arcminutes (25 kiloparsecs). Note the stellar bridge between the galaxies and the tidal tails extending from both galaxies.

2017年8月30日 · ARP 284 is a pair of interacting galaxies NGC 7715 and NGC 7714 left to right. Arp classifies these under the heading of "infall and attraction" whatever that means. They are located a bit over 100 million light years away in the constellation of Pisces.

2024年1月21日 · Arp 284 (VV 51) is part of Arp’s ‘Double Galaxies – Infall and Attraction’ class. This one consists of: NGC 7714 (UGC 12699, PGC 71868, VV 51a and others) – the spiral at the right (west) NGC 7715 (UGC 12700, PGC 71878, VV 51b and others) – the spiral…

Arp 284 (NGC 7714-7715) Three Giant Leaps. Description by Brian Ottum. Three different objects in this image demonstrate the immensity of the known universe. The bright star is 16 Piscium, located just 100 light-years from Earth, within our home Milky Way galaxy.
