NGC 2832 is the brightest galaxy in a small group of galaxies known as Arp 315. A small but moderately bright galaxy in Lynx, NGC 2832 is visible as a spherical nebulous patch in an 8" telescope. Several other galaxies in the field are brighter than 15th magnitude and make good challenges for larger telescopes.
