The Revised Shapley-Ames Catalog of Bright Galaxies is a well maintained list of the brightest 1200 galaxies, generally complete brighter than magnitude 13.0. It is therefore useful to students of the Arp Peculiar galaxies as including a list of the brighter 90 Arp views.
The table includes NGC and Arp numbers, Herschel 400 applicability, location, size and type of the galaxy and plate numbers in two popular atlases. Material for interpreting these fields follows the table.
