UGC 05814 - 22 f/4.1 (203, 293 and 377x)
This Arp is a low surface brightness round smudge. Even
surface brightness throughout its 45 diameter surface.
A 12.3 magnitude star lies 1.1 SW. A ?bright 8.1 magnitude
star lies 5.2? SSE. This galaxy was tougher than expected,
but moving the 8.1 mag star off the field made it a lot
easier to see. Alvin Huey |

PGC 32899 CGCG 314-001 - 30 f/4.3 @ 290,
419 and 754x (NELM: 6.8, T: 8/10) At 419 and 754x, this
challenging group of four galaxies was seen. The two brightest
ones were seen instantly, but the other two required a 5mm
eyepiece to see its two very faint nearly stellar spots.
Component A (PGC 32899) - This galaxy is small and considerably
faint. Its round disk is about 10 across. Component B (PGC
32895) - This member is small and considerably faint. It
is a tiny bit fainter than PGC 32899, which lies less than
30 NE. Estimated size is about 10. Component C (PGC 32893)
- At 754x, this member shows a very small almost stellar
spot. Its very faint disk is less than 5 across. Sits about
25 due west of PGC 32895. Component D (PGC 32890) - At
754x, this member shows a very small almost stellar spot.
Its very faint disk is less than 5 across. Located about
25 SE from PGC 32893. - Alvin Huey |

NGC 3556 - 18" (5/14/07): very bright, very
large, elongated 4:1 WSW-ENE, ~8'x2'. This striking galaxy
has a very mottled, patchy appearance with the main body
appearing twisted or distorted. A few brighter patches or
knots are visible along the major axis with a prominent
knot along the west side. The core region is streaked with
dust. The brightest portions of the two extensions have
slightly different orientations or central axes! The galaxy
bulges out a bit on the east end and the galaxy appears
to bend a bit towards the north on the west end adding to
the asymmetry. A couple of faint stars are superimposed
on the eastern extension and close to the center is a prominent
mag 12.5 star masquerading as a bright, stellar nucleus.
The Owl Nebula, M97, lies 48' SE. |

PGC 34447 - 30 f/4.3 @ 538, 754 and 1256x

me in the 30-incher. The brightest member is at magnitude

other observers confirmed this observation. Component A
(PGC 34447) and Component B (PGC 34452) were seen as a bipolar
elongated patch. Not quite resolved. Component E (PGC 34453)
was suspected as an extremely faint patch attached to PGC
34452. The position angle of PGC 34447 and PGC 34452 is
directly E/W. PGC 34447 was about 10 from a magnitude 16

There are actually two galaxy clusters superimposed

AGC1213A is much closer at 400 million light years. A pair
of nearby 10th-magnitude stars make galaxy identification
pretty easy in this cluster. The brightest member is UGC6292
at mag 14.4 but the area about five arcminutes south from
UGC6292 appeared very clumpy and may be the central concentration.
At times I thought I glimpsed a couple of 15th magnitude

NGC 3561 - 13.1" (3/24/84): very faint, very
diffuse spot with averted. This member of Abell Galaxy Cluster
1185 is slightly larger than most members. The dwarf galaxy
"Ambartsumian's Knot" is located at the southern end of
a plume extending from N3561. This is a complex multiple
system in Abell 1185 discovered by John Herschel (h835)
who observed the brighter southern component in three different
sweeps. Listed as N3561A/B in the RC3 (M+05-27-010, M+05-27-011),
0.7x0.7 and 0.9x0.9 although only the southern member should
be credited to JH. The dwarf galaxy "Ambartsumian's knot"
is located at the southern end of a plume extending from
N3561b. |

I'm pretty sure I didn't know it was an Abell
cluster at the time, but I picked up these 3 galaxies: IC
612 17.5" (5/19/01): extremely faint and small, round, 15"
diameter. Forms the northern vertex of a small triangle
with two mag 13 stars 40" SSW and 46" SE. IC 613 lies 2.7'
S and IC 615 4.2' NE. |

NGC 3492 17.5" (4/25/98): faint, fairly small,
slightly elongated ~E-W, 1.0'x0.8'. Weak, even concentration
to a slightly brighter core and nucleus. This galaxy is
the brightest in AGC 1142 with IC 664 4.1' NW, IC 663 6.4'
SW and IC 666 4.6' SE. Observation made in hazy skies. IC
664 17.5" (4/25/98): this is the second brightest of four
viewed in AGC 1142, located 4.1' NW of N3492. Appeared faint,
small, slightly elongated [SW-NE], 30" diameter, stellar
nucleus at moments with direct vision. IC 663 17.5" (4/25/98):
extremely faint and small, round, 15" diameter, required
averted vision. This is the third brightest of four galaxies
viewed in the core of AGC 1142. Located 6.4' SW of N3492,
midway between a mag 10.5 star 3.2' N and a mag 13 star
2.2' S. IC 666 17.5" (4/25/98): extremely faint and small,
round, 15" diameter. Last and most difficult of four found
in AGC 1142 and observation confused by a mag 15 star 40"
following. Difficult to view both simultaneously. Located
4.6' SE of N3492. Viewed hampered by hazy sky conditions
due to smoke. |

NGC 3509 - 17.5" (4/1/95): fairly faint, moderately
large, elongated 5:2 SSW-NNE, 1.6'x0.7'. Low surface brightness
with a very weak concentration (no visible core). Difficult
to determine outer extent of halo but appears to have an
asymmetric shape (slightly curved?). Discovered by WH (III
598). Observed only once and described as "eF, S, lE. I
could not verify it." Not found by Bigourdan. In Scientific
Papers, Dreyer states this number should probably be rejected
"as there was fog which indeed was so strong as make everything
swim to me." The NGC position is exactly 1.0 tmin W and
3' S of U06134 = M+01-28-033 = Arp 335. Sinnott claims the
RNGC RA is incorrect (off by 1.0 tmin) but the RNGC RA matches
U06134. |

2:1 SSW-NNE, 1.2'x0.8'. Fairly sharp concentration with
a rounder 30" core and a bright nearly stellar nucleus offset
to the N side of the core. A mag 11 star is 3.2' NNW. |

18" (5/14/07): very bright spiral with impressive
structure, elongated at least 5:2 NNW-SSE, ~7.5'x3'. Contains
a bright, elongated core highlighted by an intense, stellar
nucleus. The halo is noticeably mottled at first glance
and a dust lane runs NNW-SSE along the west side of the
core. There is a strong impression of spiral structure with
an arm attached on the east side that extends to the north
and appears to curve towards the west in the outer halo.
The halo appears more extensive or slightly brighter on
the northern end. A more difficult arm appears to sweep
to the south on the west side of the core. |

IC 0609 - 22" f/4.1 reflector @ 305, 377,
458 and 575x IC 609 shows a 2:1 elongated patch with an
off-centered stellar core. It is slightly brighter towards
the middle. 1.0 x 0.7 in size and PA = 10Ί. The unlabeled
companion is an extremely faint, very small round patch
which is only 50% visible in a 5mm TMB Supermonocentric
eyepiece generating 458x. - Alvin Huey |

ENE end and a mag 14 star at the WSW tip. Forms a pair with
N3513 10.8' SE. A mag 9.5 star (SAO 179479) is 5' S, roughly

IC 2597 = HCG 48A PGC 31586 IC2597
- 17.5" (4/1/00): moderately bright, elongated 3:2 N-S,
1.0'x0.7', fairly sharp concentration with a small bright
core. A mag 14 star is close SE [40" from center]. This
is the brightest member of HCG 48 along with HCG 48b 2.5'
S and HCG 48c 2.0' NW. This HCG is actually a subgroup of
AGC 1060 whose core is located just 30' SSW. ESO 501-059
= HCG 48B PGC 31588 ESO 501-059 - 17.5" (4/1/00): the second
brightest member of HCG 48 appeared faint, fairly small,
1.0' diameter, round, low even surface brightness. Located
2.4' S of IC 2597 within AGC 1060. HCG 48C PGC 31577 - 17.5"
(4/1/00): HCG 48c was a marginal object (faintest of three),
glimpsed 0.6' north of a mag 13 star. Visible at moments
only with averted vision and appeared very small, slightly
elongated N-S, ~15"x10". Located 2.0' NW of IC 2597 in AGC
1060. |
