My drawing from Friday evening. NGC 4562 is barely visible on the original drawing, I hope it makes it to your screens.
After Friday I believe it is possible in a good 4". Peter, I think...
Hi everyone,
Last evening I was out for a relaxed observing session using my Tak FS128, under very good conditions in rural skies. As NGC 4565 was nearly overhead at the time and it is one of my...
Hello Wooter. I will contact them. It seems really strange not to be a known asterism.
Everybody is familiar with the impressive Kemble's Cascade in Camelopardalis, a "waterfall" of stars leading to open cluster NGC 1502. But does anyone know "Nick's Cascade"? well, probably not, as I...
Howard, I am speechless at your incredible sketch. W O W ! ! !
Hi Mel, do you have an email through which I could contact you directly regarding IFN's?
Thanks

Just observed NGC 613 with my Tak FS128. From 35 degrees north it cleared the ridgeline to the south of my home by a few degrees. It took me a while to locate it, as the 9th magnitude star overwhelms...

NGC 2903 was a superb galaxy even in 120mm of aperture last Saturday night. Observing under SQM21.6 skies with superb transparency and steady seeing I could detect parts of the arms, though the bar...
And an observation with a 120mm refractor from last night...

A superb object. I have not yet observed it with my 18", but back in November 2009 I remember observing it under superb transparency and extremely dark skies with both my 12" dob and an 80mm ED...
Hi there, somehow I missed this thread. Yes, I have seen Catalina naked eye, and this observation was confirmed by at least one more person here on Cyprus. It was not easy. Just to be sure I had made...
