More fuzzies from Dorado

A few more from tonight in Dorado.

NGC 1672 is a barred spiral with a very strong central bar.
I captured a hint of the prominent spiral arm dust lane that
shows in this Wiki /HST image:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_1672

NGC 1596 and 1602 are apparently two interacting galaxies.
NGC1596 is mag 12.1 according to Cartes and 1602, mag 13.5.

Paul Mayo's site has a good field comparison shot here:
