20 questions (yes-no) again: What is the pair of astronomical objects (i.e, two objects closely spaced on their own length scale) I am thinking of?
# 1: No, they are not within our own galaxy
# 2: No, they are not within our Local group of galaxies.
# 3: No, none of the constituent parts is what an amateur astronomer would consider "prominent".
# 4: Yes, the two objects are galaxies.
# 5: Not, the galaxies do not have an informal name which is the name of an animal.
# 6: No, they are not NGC3395 and NGC3396
# 7: Yes, they are in the Northern celestial hemisphere
# 8: Not, tis not a winter constellation (IF you refer to observations in the evening
)
# 9: No, it is not a summer constellation as per
this list.
#10: Not, to my knowledge they are not members of Arp's Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies
#11: No, they are not in a circumpolar constellation (from Aachen).
#12: Yes, they are in a constellation named after a real animal.
#13: No, it is not a four-legged animal
#14: Yes, it is in big ol' Serpens (one of them, that is).
#15: No, they are not NGC 5953 and NGC 5954.
Centaur, if you continue to check off the NGC for pairs of galaxies, I'll push y'all over 20 again with no effort at all
