Arp peculiar galaxies - anyone observed any?

Hi folks,

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with observing some of the Arp peculiar galaxies?

The brightest of these happens to be Centaurus A, which most familiar to us. Happens to be one of the most southerly ones too.

Has anyone attempted to knock over as many of these as observable in amateur scopes? How about photograph them?

Paddy has written a review on the book The Arp Atlas on Peculiar Galaxies. Good review too.
