The double galaxy CMG 49 is the 49th object of the Catalogue of Multiple
Galaxies (CMG), a catalogue of double and multiple galaxies,
which was determined according to selection procedures
devised by T.S. van Albada. The CMG is described and analyzed
by Soares
(1989) in his doctoral
thesis.

NGC672 and IC1727, the 2 prominent galaxies in this image, are an
interacting pair located in the constellation of Triangulum. IC1727
displays significant disruptions from tidal forces. The bright sliver of a
galaxy towards the bottom is PGC180357. It is quite red in color and is
approximately 1.2 magnitudes brighter in the red compared to blue
(according to photo plates). This was taken at Chiefland during the
October new moon.
