PHOTOMETRIC INVESTIGATION OF . POLAR-RING GALAXY UGC 5600 . ... 1 Astronomical Institute of St.-Peterburg University . ... Abstract The results of photometric BVR c observation of polar-ring galaxy candidate UGC 5600 obtained with 6-m telescope are analyzed. We confirm the existence of inner polar ring and show that outer ring-type structure is in fact the spiral arms. Thus the galaxy represent an unusual class of gas-rich spiral galaxies with inner polar ring. ...

... Advises . Contact Advises . As an advise for amateurs we would like to underline: if it's possible, try to observe 3 asteroid positions per night and do not neglect to observe the Numbered Minor Planets in your telescope field of view as a "by product" of your observational programs. ... We think such estimations ought to be produced every morning after CCD observations of the moving celestial objects by observer himself. ...
