Hi Akarsh,
My observations of this object using 30 and 63.5cm:
PGC 2248 (ESO 350-40) Gx Sculptor
31cm x186: Extremely faint – this is the famous Zwicky’s Ring galaxy also known as the...

Hi All,
For those amateur astronomers into visually observing globular star clusters -- Absolute V-band magnitudes and mass-to-light ratios of galactic globular clusters. Until now, it has been...
Hi All,
Interesting thread and Hickson group.
I observed it on 29th October 2018 (before my operation for cataracts in August 2019) with my 25" f/5.
I missed noticing IC 5352 on a night...
Hi All,
Nice highlight of my observing session two nights ago when I slewed the 'scope to IC 1860 just before midnight, expecting to find a galaxy in the eyepiece, to be confronted with over a...
Hi All,
Thanks for your comments and sketch Davide & Bertrand. Your sketch bears a pretty strong similarity to what I saw of Zwicky's ring, though the "spots" for me were a little more star-like....
Hi All,
Only looked at this last Sunday evening, 7 October 2018 with my 63.5cm f/5 at x260 & x346. I am fortunate that these objects pass near Zenith and the SQML reading at the time was 21.86.

Hi All,
Haven't posted here for a little while but dropped by on a whim today and thought I'd post a few observations from the other night, plus one from about three weeks ago that I thought some...
Hi Adarsha,
Enjoyed your report and though I have to contend with many different types of fauna where I observe (everything from Kangaroos, Wallabies, Rabbits, Brown Snakes) I've never had to...
Hi Peter,
No, I didn't but I've seen it dozens of times in 'scopes from 25cm to 50cm. It is a very much a favourite of mine.
Best,

Hi All,
Thought I'd post some observing notes from last night using my 46cm f/4.9 Dobson mounted Newtonian from my home last night. Conditions were good but not the absolute best they could be at...
Hi Steve,
Yes, apparently quite faint. I'd suggest from what I saw at x247, they were in the order of V mag 15.5-16 for the northern star, and mag 16 - 16.5 for the southern one. A little...
Hi All,
Just a brief query.
I was observing tonight working my way through a short list of NGC objects in Antlia and slewed the 'scope to NGC 2973 which, according to Steve Gottlieb's notes...
Hi All,
Just thought I'd stop by here to give an endorsement for this excellent product, but first up in the interests of full disclosure you should note that the developer and owner, Serge...

Hi Steve & All,
After discovering that my last observation of this neat PNe was two decades ago, I thought it deserved a re-look with larger aperture and vastly better conditions.
Tonight, I...
Hi Steve & All,
My only recorded observations of this PNe are 20 years ago with my 25cm GEM Newtonian. The first was from outer suburban Engadine and a week later at our society's "nearly dark"...
Hi Howard,
That's actually about 2.5 hours of observing from 11.30pm to around 2am. Yes I am in NSW, approximately 260km due west of Sydney. The address is Billimari, though the "village"...
Hi All,
By way of introduction to this forum, here are some observations of a number of galaxies I observed on the 28th & 29th January 2017 using my 46cm f/4.9 Dobson mounted Newtonian. I...
Hi All,
First, thank you for allowing me to join this forum.
My log is kept in electronic form and includes entries back to 1995 using 25cm, 31cm and 46cm Newtonian telescopes.
I have had a...
