2 Galaxies around M57

[vasilas432]

Hi Vassileios,

Like Wooter I have seen many times IC 1296 but it's never exactly easy in my 18". Once you know it's there you can see it as a small low surface brightness smudge. Like everybody else herre I had never heard of (or noticed) the other galaxy you mentioned, but judging from the attached photo it's gonna be a hard one!

Hi Rolandos

The smal Galaxy is 17.5 mag. On Saturday I will try again from an even darker site sqm reading 21,7.
I will report back.
We are waiting Jimi's report too!

Clear Skies
Vassilios
EDIT: sqm reading in the new location is more than 21,8
