trio 22”
(230,
383 and 690x) – Very compact trio of galaxies.
The west pair is a very close double galaxy while
the third member lies
just 0.5’ due west.
Only one member is
charted by MegaStar. UGC 10987 17 48

– Considerably faint
slightly elongated glow with an off-centered stellar
core. 0.3’

Note: The elongated glow with an off-centered
core is both galaxies (the
other is uncharted A), but not resolved. Uncharted B 17 48
