If I am not mistaken this galaxy was a candidate for possible tidal streams?...so you could hammer it a bit longer and see what comes up Can you rotate the field to frame it better?

Mike
A quick google doesn't say much about visible tidal streams from NGC 3109 although this galaxy is influencing the Antlia dwarf. I doubt whether anything would be visible in my light polluted sky but I am going to try for some more data although the weather is seriously limiting what I can do these days. Sorry about the framing. I'll see what I can do.
