NGC 930 is the middle galaxy in a line of three inc -24 and -38. It is a fairly small round eg about 40" diameter. Mod faint and of lowish SB brightens evenly and slightly to centre. At times you suspect a very faint occasional stellaring in the centre. Between two stars of mags 11 and 13.

-24 is NW by 20'. This is a pretty small, faint, non-descript eg about 45" diameter, round and brightens broadly and slightly to the centre azonally to the centre with a very faint *ar nucleus.

-38 is ESE by 10' Small and pretty ordinary eg about 40-50" diameter with diffuse edges and rises evenly and moderately to the centre but no real apparent nucleus.

NGC 976 is a pretty small and non-descript eg which forms an I tri with 4 stars, 2 to the NNE and 2 to the NNW all mags 12 to 14 with the eg at the sharpest point and at the S. It appears to be round about 40" diameter lowish SB growing broadly and slightly to centre azonally without apparent nucleus. MCG +3-7-28 is to the SE by 20'.

MCG +3-7-28 is a very faint eg, perhaps slightly elong in PA 0, a weak patch of consistent SB haze without nucleus about 30" diameter.

Size: 0.8'x0.6' Class: S? P.A.: 10
Inclination: --- R.V.: +4095 Source: RC3 *

This is a very small pretty faint non-descript eg which is found in a pretty barren field. Small, seems to be round, there is a mag 12-12.5 * about 2.5' to the SE. Maybe slightly elong in PA 0, 30" diameter, growing broadly and slightly to centre azonally without core or nucleus.

Size: 3.1'x1.5' Class: S0/a? P.A.: 24
Inclination: --- R.V.: +970 Source: RC3 *

This is a quite attractive elong or near edge on eg, a faint spindle shaped object in about PA 15, seems to be about 1.5-1.75' x 15" and a slight brightening to the axis near centre. A mag 14 sparkle is embedded near the centre, just off axis to the E near the core barely within the halo.

This is a fairly small and pretty faint eg in a field with very few faint stars. Appears round, probably 30" diameter diffuse edged halo. Grows broadly and slightly to centre without core or nucleus.

NGC 1134 is an easy to see eg in a pretty dim field. Mod low SB, appears to be elong in PA 150 1.25 - 1.5' x just under 1' with a weak streak through the major axis and a small round brightening at centre that takes concentration and AV to see. a mag 14 * is adjacent to the core off the halo to the E.

IC 267 is S of 1134 by 10'. A quite faint quite elong eg in a pretty blank field. a fat lens shape in PA 0 maybe 1.25' x 20" growing in brightness weakly to centre. Very low SB

NGC 1156 Galaxy *
RA: 02h 59m 41.9s Dec: +25° 14' 12"
Mag: 12.3 (B) S.B.: 13.0 B-V: +0.58
Size: 3.3'x2.4' Class: IB(s)m P.A.: 25
Inclination: --- R.V.: +372 Source: RC3 *

This is a fairly easy-to-see eg with mod low SB , probably 1.5' x 1' in PA 15, rising slightly to centre without apparent nucleus. A mag 12 * is at the N end just on the halo, off axis to the W, and a faint sparkle at the S end just inside the halo too.


Well, that was the end of my list for Aries and it was now off to polish off a similar list in Caelum and Columba.

NGC 1585 is a quite small mod faint eg that seems about 30-40" diameter, round and rises mod and evenly to the centre azonally without apparent nucleus. A mag 12 * is close to the halo to the NW. IC 2068 is 10' NW.

IC 2068 is not too hard to see, though fainter than 1585. LSB, about 30" diameter. Small round patch with a small slightly brighter core area containing a very faint *ar nucleus

NGC 1658 is a not too hard to see. -58 is the larger and brighter of the pair, though neither are very bright by any means. It is elong in PA 150, with a mag 15.5 * about 1.5' to the SW. 50 x 20" brightening slightly to the centre with a small core-zone, weakly brighter than the surrounding halo.

NGC 1660 is almost pointed at by -58 to the S and appears as a very small round eg 20" diameter growing broadly and slightly to centre without apparent nucleus.

This is a very small quite faint eg forming an almost RA Tri with a couple of mag 9 *s to the N and NW about 7 and 9' distant. Appears to be elong in about PA 30, very small lens shaped spindle 30" x 10" with a slight azonal central brightening and no core or nucleus.
