ESO/Upps (Lauberts 1982)
The ESO/Uppsala Survey of the ESO(B) Atlas remarks: "[ESO 284-IG 8] open spiral, strongly interacting with irregular galaxy 1.4' N.f. and with SO galaxy 0.8' S.p.; another small companion lies 1.9' S.p ."
Bergwall et.al. (1978)
Bergwall et.al. (1978(Astron. Astrophys. Suppl. 33, 243-255) gives the B-magnitude in the Johnson system for the four components, a-d, as 14.28, 15.58, 15.04 and 16.64. Photoelectric UBV measurements give V=13.596 (44'' diaphragm) for component a, V=14.026 (32'' diaphragm) for component b, V=15.699 (22'' diaphragm) for component c and V=14.831 (32'' diaphragm) for component d.
