I wanted to mention I have a featured observing article titled "Galaxies in Collision" in the May issue of Sky & Tel, which should be out shortly. It includes a number of interacting Arp pairs including the Antennae (cover photo) and other interesting duos such as the Mice, the Tadpole, the Heron, the Grasshopper and more. Some of these are fairly well known and others are more obscure. All the observations were made courtesy of Jimi's 48-inch.

In the same issue, Howard Banich has an observing article on NGC 5529 and its challenging neighbors. Perhaps Howard will mention more about the article. So quite a bit to chew on for deep sky observers!
