NGC 2623

[Xilman]

 

This is NGC 2623, a magnitude 13.4, SABcd LINER galaxy seen face on. Taken with my 0.4m Dilworth, 3180s unfiltered, in 106 subs on 2023-03-10. The object close to the nucleus is another galaxy.

Limiting stellar magnitude is ~20.4, not much brighter than the DSS2 images available at Aladin.

Very nice. Only 2.4 arc minutes long and 0.7 arc minutes wide. That’s small!

Great result Paul.

I guess you are on the island at this time or can you operate the observatory remotely?
