Galaxy hunt on Good Friday

Recommended Posts

Got the scope out when the sky seemed to be clear, SQM showed above 18.5 all the time, the best clocked at 19.0, new record in my backyard :smiley:

Looking for bright galaxies in Leo, NGC4216, 4365, 4371, 4429, 4478, 4473, 4570, 4596, 4442, 4419, 4660, 4689, 4754 were all directly visible in 31mm asphperic for 66x, with more details in 25mm for 81x and 17.8mm for 114x.

Mag 11.6 NGC4550 was more challenging, together with Mag 12.9 NGC4866, they were only visible in averted vision in 66x with well dark-adapted eye, and almost direct vision in 81x and 114x.

A Good Friday session bagged another 15 galaxies :smiley:
