Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 7828 and NGC 7829 are an example of the rare "ring galaxy", probably the
result of a collision. See NGC 4774, IC 298, and IC 3862 for more on these
peculiar systems.
Steve's Notes
=====
NGC 7828
48" (10/23/14): at 488x; fairly bright, moderately large, elongated 5:2 NW-SE, 40"x18", irregular shape with a mottled or clumpy appearance, slightly brighter along with south side. There is an extension or bend (slightly north) on the northwest side as if this object consists of two merged galaxies and at the northwest end a fainter 15" knot or patch is attached. Forms an interacting pair (Arp 144 = VV 272) with NGC 7829 just 0.6' between centers. Arp 51 lies 3.2' SW and appeared fairly faint, fairly small, slightly elongated ~SW-NE, 24"x20".
17.5" (9/15/90): faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 NW-SE, even surface brightness. Forms a double system with NGC 7829, an extremely compact galaxy off the SE end.
