Visually, an object's size is often smaller than the cataloged value and varies according to the aperture and magnification of the viewing instrument. Right ascension and declination are for equinox 2000.0. as belonging to the Pisces group in their 1931 photographic survey of the area with the 100-inch Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson Observatory. The galaxy group's popularity as an observing target was no doubt enhanced by its inclusion in Halton 60 JANUARY 2 02 0 * SK Y & TELESCOPE Arp's 1966 Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. Arp compiled the catalog using photographs taken at Palomar Observatory with both the 200-inch Hale and the 48-inch Schmidt telescopes in the early 1960s. Listed as the core of the Pisces Cloud is Arp 331, one of several "strings of galaxies" in his catalog - Arp included eight galaxies in this string. Located a little more than 3° southsouthwest of Beta (β) Andromedae, or Mirach, the Pisces Cloud is an interesting stop between the Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33) galax-
