The bottom panel is a finder field of about 4.5 across and 3.0 high. The finder field is wide enough for the finder scope and detailed enough for those who choose to use a low power eyepiece as a finder, like I do. The limiting magnitude of the field stars is typically set to 12.0, otherwise at 11.0 for star rich regions. The field of the DSS image is superimposed on the finder chart. GC 3 (Pisces) GC 7816 GC 7824 Right page The field of the DSS image is noted at the bottom. Ranges from 15 x 15 to 60 x 60. on MAC galaxies are labeled and most unlabeled galaxies are MAC galaxies. I purposely didn t label all of them to minimize clutter. A table provided below lists the following: RA and Dec in Epoch 2000.0 of the center of the field Mag1 the listed magnitude of the brightest galaxy of the group. # of galaxies number as published RA Dec Mag1 # of galaxies 00 07 16.8 +08 18 05 13.3 8+ Any comments or if you want to share any observations.

March 22, 2013 March 26, 2013 April 12, 2013 Feb 24, 2018 Enhanced readability of all DSS images. Refreshed finder charts to align with DSS images. Very minor enhancements Enhanced TOC Moved the index to the beginning Enhanced recommended reading section. Minor edits mainly to the How to Use section. Added Front Cover Removed Arp 138 from Index. Typo. Inadvertently added to GC 4065, whereas Arp 138 is actually GC 4015 as indicated on page 59. Selected Small Galaxy Groups 150 www.faintfuzzies.com
