Getting tired Ill place the rest later this week.
22" f/4.1 Pegasus Reflector and 30" f/4.3 Starmaster GOTO Reflector (shared with two others)
| Arp 2 | 22” f/4.1 (203, 293 and 377x) | UGC 10310 | Very faint, very low surface brightness,
slightly elongated (5:4) patch with even surface brightness throughout.
Neither structure nor nucleus spotted. PA = 160Ί and about 2.5 long.
A 15th magnitude star lies about 45” off the NW edge and another 15th
mag star lies about 2 off the SE edge.
Increasing the magnification did not reveal any additional detail, but rather dimmed it even more. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arp 71 (part of Abell 2151) | 22” f/4.1 (203, 293, 377 and 528x) | NGC 6045 | This is a very interesting galaxy pair! At 377x, it is considerably faint, 4:1 elongated patch with an almost stellar nucleus. PA = 100Ί and about 60” long. Kicking it to 528x, the west end took a slight curve towards the north. The east tip took a nice 60 degree turn to the south and it is a little brighter than the halo, but fainter than the nucleus. |

Even surface brightness with a brighter bar” with a stellar nucleus positioned along the entire major axis. PA = 60Ί and its size is about 90 x 60”.
