Condition: VG6
Location: Home, Spearfish: 44.49, -103.87
Target: NGC 772
Const: Aries
RaDec: 01h59m +19°00
Scope: AT102ED
Setting: 55x, AV
This target took a long time to find / detect (this was also my second attempt). Prolonged AV in the expected area finally gave me glimpses. The size grew a little over time as I observed it, and I get the impression that this galaxy is just so slightly oblong.
Target: NGC 185
Const: Cassiopeia
RaDec: 00h38m +48°20
Scope: AT102ED
Setting: 55x, AV
This one also took a long time to find. I had to go in for a while to let Stellarium help confirm the location. Prolonged AV allowed it to pop into view briefly a few times. Rather small and close to a uniform circle.
Both targets tonight were pretty hard. I had 4 items on my list but had ran out of endurance in the 12° temperatures in the backyard.
