About this image

Arp 105 (aka the guitar galaxy NGC3561) is seen in the middle towards the top. The bridge between NGC3561A and the fuzzy green bit (VV 237f) above it is not visible nor is Ambartsumian's knot (mag 18). This is perhaps not surprising given the limitations of the S50. The overall galaxy cluster of Abell 1185 provides a nice back drop.
