So a filter is needed to maybe see it.
-Maybe this ’rings’ is not that uncommon on galaxys.
Its litte to tuff observe here in Sweden now and temperature at -25C and allot of snow.
I’ll just noted I had 10 years in hobby. Started from zero knowledge.
Where the 30” telescope are its not...
I was on the Canary island Tenerife over Christmas.
Normally I would go to La Palma in this time period but this year it was not
a new moon.
It's always harder to go direct to La Palma from...
As told.
Last December I was observing at LaPalma in a 20” and as one here never saw the galaxy NGC 459 ( 12” Dob ) I was going after it at LaPalma.
Last fall in Sweden was terrible and nothing to...
Impressing.
Bigger than I thought.
Now I’ll just wait on a nice night for my 30” here in Sweden.
-I will se it..
Don, yes from what all issues we can get into and from all good things I came to from what cause issue for me here in Sweden, I fight light in summer, harsch winter and snow for many month, coldness,...
I has high to roof so I’ll just seek a answer.
What happend at LaPalma vs this galaxy ?
20” is 3x light from a 12”, darkness was good, seeing was great so was it just lack of experiance, bad eyes,...
That was amazing with a ES 16” Dob at 21.2 darkness.
Yes experiance counts for shore but I’m not new now and I was at 21.5 darkness in very good seeing Bortle 1 and had 20” but it was not enough....
Don, that was very well done but you are also a Very experianced observer with ton of DS experiance.
I started 2015 from absolut zero as you know but I has work with some great guys but I has to...
The search for NGC 459, close to M74.
Some overhere in Sweden has try to see this object in 12” but no succsess.
Its a rather easy reference stars and its 3 fainter stars and galaxy is close them...
Now we need polish our EP to see the tiny galaxy in the Southern Ring ( 10 oclock at James Webb’s new picture ;/))
Ok, thanks.
I guessed that, so not my cup of tea.
Maybe we all come to sense later on but I doubt.
Next v-round will soon come.
I keep track on World economic forum so one know next step.
-But I...
When is the best time of year obeserving in Chile ?
( weather and sky not objects )
-Can one get into country on tests only now ?
I can only do salive test vs a I has HHT, but anyway I refuse...
Hi Wouter.
After April 20 it’s no astronomical nights here and after that the sun almost newer goes down ( 61’th )
That’s why so few use big aperture or high class telescopes.
Can one use a...
Sweden spring observing and further experiance on 30”.
Its had been a bad fall and winter for observing the way I see it.
Fall went out bad and winter here is harch and sky is ’milky’.
-It can...
Thanks for a great report!
A long drive!
How much people with bigger Dobs was there ?
-I think we meet breefly in Steerns in Oregon just before I went to OSP for the solar eclipse -17.
You came...
LaSerena, Nice.
I was going to Vicuna/Pangea 2019 but decided OSP and LaPalma again, and after that travell has been hard.
You has another sky than me here at 62 degree, so summer is off and...
I obseved HCK 1 and 82 and saw all 4 galaxys in the 30” f/3/6 and sky was around SQM-21.25 and observings was not towards Stockholm ( + 1 milion people and more in that area )
I used ethos 8 mm and...
What is the best object as far up at possible from say 9 to 3 at the peak after midninght.
I rather want be lower than 75 degree.
I plan ing to observe the Hickson series here from Sweden at 62 degree in a 30” scope.
Last spring Hickson 50 had a good position and a clear night at zenith I could say I saw easy 3 components (...
It’s been no activity in the 30” this winter so in April I could do 3 nights but 2 of them was not that good.
Sweden is a terrible place for visual astronomy and it’s not just the darkness, as that...
I was trying observe the Holmberg UGC 5336 yesterday but sky was only 21.1 and conditions was not that good so that time 30" was not enough.
-I saw 2 faint stars where the galaxy would be but it...
Ok, so he saw the 706B as 1 galaxy, that make sense.
Thank's explain the case.
What kind of scope ( size ) and sky is needed to se this one.
Mag 17 is tuff.. but if what kind of magnification...
I could not find NGC 5914, and was it the B galaxy that is a Holmberg ?
And later on they find the overcrossing PGC2188560.
