Venus_is_my_friend Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I have never seen M77 before, I assume it is very faint and small. What is AFOV of the sketch?Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 16mm gives x114 and 0.72° AFOVThe core was very very evident and and maybe the glow extended four times the size of the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkerSky Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 The detail you've captured there is brilliant Mick. The core with its side extensions really do stand out. Nice one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonshane Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 lovely sketch Mick.did you sketch another galaxy to the right too? I thought it might be NGC 936 but this is surely too close to be that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
