Arp 41 consists of NGC 1232, the large spiral and NGC 1232A (ESO 547-16 and others), the small galaxy just to the left (east) of NGC 1232. While Arp has this one in his, ‘Spiral galaxies with low surface brightness companions on arms,’ NGC 1232A appears to be much further away than the 72 million light-years for NGC 1232. These are located in the corner of Eridanus, above Fornax.
