this image was acquired with a borrowed mx916 camera so i got a larger field. ngc 5951 would not have fallen within my mx716 field.

arp 91 is the last in the class spirals with large hsb companions on arms.
the atlas note says "broad pec[uliar] arm to comp., then absorption: faint
extension from comp.". i believe that ngc 5954 -- the member of the pair
closest to the ne corner -- is the primary and that ngc 5954 is the companion.
but that is debatable. the nearly edge-on spiral in the sw corner is ngc
5951.
