On this page I compile my observations of the gravitationally bound galaxy pair Holm 46 in the constellation Triangulum, consisting of the barred spiral galaxies NGC 672 and IC 1727.
NGC 672 in the constellation Triangulum is a barred spiral galaxy with extensive star-forming regions. Together with the barred spiral galaxy IC 1727, which is less than 90,000 light years away, it forms the gravitationally bound galaxy pair Holm 46.
