Mag: 13.7 (B) S.B.: 13.9 B-V: +0.63 Size: 1.1'x0.8' Class: (R')SAB(r)bc

Despite being practically invisible on the DSS (I presume because this is a milky way field and a consequently shorter exposure), it's not too bad. Can be held continuously with A.V, mod faint and mod LSB. Has a couple of very faint *s just off the halo to the NNE and NE. Seems round, quite small, about 50" to 1' diameter, diffuse and grows weakly to center without core, zones or nucleus.


x185 27' TF,

ESO 266-15 (PGC 36240) Galaxy *
RA: 11h 40m 55.7s Dec: -44° 28' 53"
Mag: 13.0 (B) S.B.: 13.2 B-V: +0.60 Size: 1.8'x1.0' Class: Sbc
P.A.: 140 Inclination: --- R.V.: +3160 Source: RC3 *

This eg is found a little W of S from an 8th mag * by 5'. Seems to be round, pretty good SB, maybe weakly elong in PA 150, 1.25' x 1', growing in brightness weakly to center with no apparent core, zones or nucleus.


x185 27' TF,

ESO 377-24 (PGC 34101) Galaxy *
RA: 11h 12m 33.6s Dec: -36° 25' 33"
Mag: 13.5 (P) S.B.: --- B-V: --- Size: 1.3'x1.1' Class: SA(rs)c: pec
P.A.: 101 Inclination: --- R.V.: +2930 Source: RC3 *

This is a slightly odd looking object for something so faint and appears like a mag 13.5 * surrounded out to a total diameter of about 50" by some very tenuous gossamer. Hard to say whether the "star" is a superimposition or a brilliant nucleus. My suspicion is that it is a faint star, dead center.


x185 27' TF,

ESO 215-39 (PGC 34443) Galaxy *
RA: 11h 17m 04.2s Dec: -49° 12' 07"
Mag: 13.6 (B) S.B.: --- B-V: +0.54 Size: 1.4'x0.9' Class: SAB(s)c
P.A.: 21 Inclination: --- R.V.: +4282 Source: RC3 *

In a field that is very well sewn with faint *s, this eg isn't too hard to see. Mod faint, not immediately visible, quite small, 30" diameter, round and seems to have a very faint mag 15.5 * on the edge of the visible halo to the S. Grows weakly to center with no evidence of core, zones or nucleus.

Best,

Enjoyed both of these too ngcles ; now go have a rest. Ha!
