x185 27' TF

NGC 2616 Galaxy *
RA: 08h 35m 34.1s Dec: -01° 50' 56"
Mag: 13.5 (B) S.B.: --- B-V: +0.99
Size: 1.5'x1.2' Class: SAB(rs)0^? P.A.: 145
Inclination: --- R.V.: +9000 Source: RC3 *

This is again a pretty easy to see but small eg probably only 40" diameter and round, typical looking tiny elliptical type eg. There are a couple of faint mag 11 * pointing at it from the NE. 40" diameter, reasonable SB grows broadly and mod to centre with a very small slightly brighter spot nr centre. Not too hard to see.

NGC 2665 Galaxy *
RA: 08h 46m 01.0s Dec: -19° 18' 08"
Mag: 12.9 (B) S.B.: 12.6 B-V: +0.67

This eg does not appear nearly as bright in the flesh as it does in the DSS. In the DSS it seems a fairly bright compact eg but through the ep it seems mod faint in PA 20, appears in a lengthened trapezium of mag 10 & 11 *s which is about 7' x 4'. Seems elong, 1.25' x 40" in PA 45, brightening mod to the axis and there is a small spot or *ar nucleus and a faint superimposed mag 14 * just at the NE end of the halo.

NGC 2718 Galaxy *
RA: 08h 58m 50.4s Dec: +06° 17' 35"

Size: 2.1' Class: (R')SAB(s)ab P.A.: ---
Inclination: 1 R.V.: +3785 Source: RC3 *

This is a mod bright, pretty small and elong eg probably in about PA 135, with no stars immediately associated it has quite LSB. Probably 1.5' x 1', oval with a very LSB outer halo with a small oval 15" diam slightly brighter core and a very faint *ar nucleus. There are a couple of faint mag 14 *s to the N and E a couple of arc-mins away.



x185 27' TF

NGC 2765 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 07m 36.7s Dec: +03° 23' 33"
Mag: 13.1 (P) S.B.: --- B-V: ---
Size: 2.1'x1.1' Class: S0 P.A.: 111
Inclination: 6 R.V.: +3827 Source: RC3 *

This is a pretty small, lens-shaped eg that is easy to see, maybe 1.5' x 20" in about PA 120. Pretty reasonable SB, quite elong inclined lenticular eg, of generally consistent SB, possibly weakly brighter at centre. And there is a very small weakly brighter elong core in the centre but no real nucleus.

NGC 2817 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 17m 10.6s Dec: -04° 45' 12"
Mag: 13.4 S.B.: --- B-V: ---
Size: 1.9'x1.6' Class: SAB(rs)c P.A.: 4
Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *

This is a small fairly diffuse and LSB eg pointed at by a string by a mag 11 and a couple of mag 12 * that are away to its SW. Maybe nearly 1.5' diameter, quite LSB with diffuse edges to the halo, rising broadly and weakly to the centre. There may be a large slightly brighter core zone that is just detectable within the halo but no nucleus.

The IC object is a small eg of reasonable SB. It is pointed at by a couple of stars mag 8 & 10 to the SW about 7' away. Very small and elong in PA 135 with a small lens shaped halo 30" x 10" with a small faint * ar nucleus. Due N is NGC 2676 by 10' which is overall brighter but slightly lower overall SB. Seems slightly elong in PA 90, a little larger, 40" diameter, mod LSB but not hard to see with a small 10" slightly brighter core and no apparent nucleus.

IC 537 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 25m 22.6s Dec: -12° 23' 33"
Mag: 13.7 S.B.: --- B-V: ---
Size: 1.1'x1.0' Class: (R)S0/a? P.A.: 175
Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *.

A really tiny eg that is quite faint and took some time to pick up with no real stars of note near it. There is a 13th mag * 1' away directly S but it is really tiny, perhaps only 15" diameter of consistent low SB spot with no brightening to centre or zones. No nucleus.


IC 2481 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 27m 28.6s Dec: +03° 55' 48"

Like the last object, this is an exceptionally tiny and faint eg that makes a tiny tri with a couple of mag 14 *s to the N and NE about 1' away. Very, very small maybe only 15" diameter, very faint -- a spot of gossamer with no real central brightening, zones or other structure.

NGC 2924 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 35m 11.0s Dec: -16° 23' 54"

IC 546 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 34m 50.3s Dec: -16° 23' 04"
Mag: 14.5 S.B.: --- B-V: ---
Size: 1.0'x0.6' Class: SB(rs)0+ P.A.: 100
Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *

The NGC eg is much the brighter and larger and is found 10' E of a of an 8th mag * that has a small faint companion. Small and round, just over 1' diameter with a faint star on the W edge and another just outside the halo in the SE whcih is somewhat brighter. 1.5' diameter with good SB rising broadly and slightly to centre where there is a small mod brighter core.

IC 546 is between the 8th mag * and the NGC eg, a little closer to the *. It is a very small eg which has a 14th or 5th mag *. Very small, 20-30" diameter brightening mod and evenly to centre azonally but has no apparent nucleus.



x185 27' TF

NGC 2947 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 36m 05.9s Dec: -12° 26' 11"
Mag: 13.2 S.B.: --- B-V: ---
Size: 1.4'x1.2' Class: SAB(r)bc P.A.: 25
Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: RC3 *

This is a lowish SB eg making a small flat tri with a couple of mag 11 * whcih are to the SE close-by. Round, possibly slightly elong in PA 0. Reasonable but certainly lowish SB grows from hazy and indistinct edges broadly and weakly to centre azonally without nucleus. Seems a bit over 1' diameter. Revise: Looks round



x185 27' TF

IC 550 Galaxy *
RA: 09h 40m 28.6s Dec: -06° 56' 45"
Mag: 14.5 S.B.: --- B-V: ---
Size: 0.8'x0.5' Class: L
P.A.: 36 Inclination: --- R.V.: --- Source: PGC

This eg appears about 8' to the SE of a 8th mag * which is a bit of a distraction. Very small, 20-30" diameter, round, small weak outer halo with a largish (10" dia) core of consistent moderate SB that is somewhat brighter than the halo but no further nuclear brightening. At first glance it looks stellar.
