Dino Hightlights, Tue 2/27 Wow!

by Matthew Marcus


Bark, bark. I was there and got >30 galaxies. Jeff was looking at Cen A, so I followed suit and logged this object which I'd never have gone for otherwise. Even though it was just over the horizon, I was still able to get a clear view of the hamburger shape. I also made a significant dent in those H400 objects I haven't done yet and cleaned up some of my 'to do' list. This list consists of things I logged as having seen but not well.

M51 and M83 afforded what might be the best views I'd ever had of those two objects. Spiral structure was distinctly visible in both.
