Description

Continuing with the attempts to photograph galaxies through a Bortle 8 sky, I have found two mysterious galaxies interacting near the irregular galaxy NGC4449. I have tried to identify this object with Astrobin's plate solve and with Stellarium, but both are unaware of it. Most Astrobin images of NGC4449 do not include this mysterious object in their fields of view.  I will keep looking.

P.S. Win van Berlo has identified the ghost galaxies as PGC 40984 and PGC 40986. Thanks Win.
