Some galaxies from suburbia
It is sometimes said that chasing galaxies from the average suburban back yard is a bit of a waste of time. Not so. I'm not very experienced and had no real trouble finding these.
Started in Centaurus:
NGC 5128, NGC 4945, NGC 5102, NGC 5253, NGC 5236.
Corvus:
NGC 4261, NGC 4462.
There were also quite a few nearby including NGC 4038, 4039, 4033
and lots more. I was not sure I was identifying these correctly and will
have another closer look with the help of a more close-up map. Hope the weather stays fine. Corvus is well placed at the moment. The galaxy hunt was not helped by a stray ginger cat setting off the neighbour's sensor light ... twice!!
