Is this a PN in Sarah's nebula..??

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

Can someone with a good star atlas program identify this? It looks like a twin lobed planetary nebula but it's hard to tell. There is also something else blue directly below this object but it looks a bit more like a galaxy but it is also quite blue..? The blue armed spiral galaxy top right is IC 4633 in APUS.

SAP doesn't go deep enough I don't think..?

I already looked at it but Jim's image doesn't cover my FOV

bugger Sorry Mike I just compared the asterisms in the images and it misses out by a whisker my apologies Mr sidonio

I think I found it.
Its PGC236832, a mag 16.3 galaxy, odd considering its blue colour. See screenshot. There is another un named fuzzy spot in there as well, in the middle but the object in question is near the bottom of the DSS image.

Id like to image it with the 10 inch now but the weather is going to be bad to well into next week it seems.

Ah cool thanks Scott, so it's a pair of interacting blue galaxies apparently..? Doesn't show on my SAP, how does it show on yours?

No worries.
Ive got the "Hyper G" atlas of 1,300,000 galaxies included in mine. Its available as an install CD, check with Paul.
