Dimensions: 7' x 6'
Magnitude: 10.7

Notes:
NGC 1232 is a "Grand Design" spiral galaxy not unlike M101. However, in this case
the spiral arms are curiously bent and not gently curved as is more typically the case.
-9-
Zone 229
This is most likely due to gravitation interactions with its neighbor (on the top in this
image). It is almost as if the structure of the central bar of the galaxy has somehow been
morphed into the structure of the arms (wild speculation!).
[Source: http://www.noao.edu/ outreach/aop/observers/n1232.html]
NGC 1232 is one of the wonders in the sky. It is the prototype of a highly regular
multiple-armed spiral of the earliest luminosity class.
The arms start at the edge of a high-surface-brightness disk. Only two major arms
begin at this rim. After about one-quarter revolution, each branches into two fragments
which after further unwinding branch again until a highly multiple armed structure
spreads over the outer disk.
Each fragment is well separated from the others; the geometrical entropy of the
pattern is as low as in any galaxy in the RSA, equal or somewhat lower than in other
highly regular Sc galaxies such as NGC 309 and NGC 5364.
The arms are filled with HII regions and candidates for brightest stars. The largest HII
regions have core + halo diameters of 3".

Notes:
This barred spiral Sbc(s)II galaxy is notable for how well the H II regions delineate
the bar, inner ring, and almost the entire length of each of its half-dozen or so arms, "like
beads on a necklace" to paraphrase Baade (1963). The two major arms appear to be
extensions of the bar, which leads to the impression that they intersect perpendicularly
