Gallery of "Palomar Compact Galaxy Groups" imaged with my 12" LX200 telescope and ST-10XME Camera (2026-2026+)
Project was inspired by Alvin Huey's guide book "The Palomar Compact Galaxy Groups" (on www.faintfuzzies.com) that is based on a select sampling of 60 of 459 compact groups. The list was created by Dr. Angela Lovino of Italy, using similar selection criteria as Hickson, Shakhbazian, and Rose in their respective projects. The criteria are a bit tighter and use an automated algorithm scanning POSS plates > 40 degrees from the galactic equator. This list is the ultimate compact galaxy list. All of them are less than an arc minute in size.
