Galaxy targets for tonight - Pegasus

[mdstuart]

Looking like it might be clear tonight.

Going to mop up a few galaxies I have not yet seen in Pegasus..

I have a list to work through with charts. They are all mag 13/14 so if you have a 10 inch scope or above feel free to try some and report back

Well I hope the forecasts are wrong - mine say 90%-100% cloud cover for tonight

[johninderby]

Hope you have better luck with the weather than me. Definately iffy to say the least for tonight. I put it down to the new equipment curse.  ☹️

[mdstuart]

Hmm..

Yes I was hopeing that once the cold front was through I might have some joy. Well I have the list ready for whenever the next clear night comes along.

Its probably my fault as I ordered a new AZ5 head for mounting my 130p scope on Saturday.

The weather looks more promising for tonight..

[johninderby]

Not so promising here again tonight.  ?

[mdstuart]

Scope base out cooling..

All systems are nominal as they say.

Sky is clear...

No moon.

It's clear here at the moment. Seeing a bit wobbly low down but better higher up. Hope you get some of your targets Mark

Thanks. That 21p comet looks good. Faint tail pointing to the left (west)

My next target with the 130mm refractor and a 40mm SWA eyepiece

Just a short note to say my evening was very fruitful and I managed to observe a number of the galaxies on the list.

The "doubles and triples" were the most memorable so Hickson 93 where I could pick out the three brightest galaxies and the pairs NGC 7563/7559 and NGC 7147/7149. 

Now I just need a few more clear nights.
