NGC 1468 Galaxy *

This is a small faint eg found next to two stars of mag 14.5 & 15.5. Slightly elong oval 30" x 20" of LSB mist in about PA 150. Small slightly brighter not well defined core zone in the centre.

The three NGC egs form a small slightly lengthened S tri that seems to point W with -72 at that tip. All three look basically similar. The Tri they form is only 5' x 3'. x247 very faint egs with -78 the worst and quite LSB mod to quite faint. All about 20-30" diameter, round growing slightly to centre without apparent core or nucleus.

MGC-2-10-21 is found 1 field to the S about 12' away. It is about 1' diameter, small and consistent SB diaphanous LSB patch of gossamer with virtually no central brightening.

A few nights later, I was in Hawaii on top of Mauna Kea at the Gemini Observatory, but that's another story I'll tell elsewhere ...

Best,
