How Do I....?

[Bobj]

How do I tell which galaxy is which, please? I have a 10" Skywatcher dob and just point it in the general direction. Musta seen about 6 of these, but which ones???:shrug: I couldn't find any labels on them:whistle:

Hmmm, they should have NGC numbers written next to them just like in your attachment :lol:

Mine do :rofl: :

That's funny....in my 'scope they do have labels? Which eyepiece were you using?

Cheers

Ken has this very special scope.
It automagically puts ngc numbers everywhere ;)

[ballaratdragons]

Is that what it is! I thought the numbers where actually out there in space.

I thought they were a bit clear on nights of bad seeing :lol:

Ken i need to have a talk with you when i get to tha valley of tha snakes.
It is regarding those ngc stickers that are stuck on the front of your scope lol.

[ballaratdragons]

I'll peel them off and give them to Bob :lol:

You guys... sucked in. Ken doesn't really have stickers on the front of his scope with labels, that would be impossible! He has a Newtonian, there IS nothing on the front...duh. You can only do this with a Schmidt Cass or Mak :lol:

[mill]

Or not beeing sucked in :)
There is always the ed80 :P

[Bobj]

Which end of the ep do I put them on??:shrug:And, will they appear upside down??? Hmmmmm:whistle:
By a process of elimination, I have discovered that one of the galaxies is NGC....er......84, or 86.....I think.

[ballaratdragons]

Ha Ha, your sucked in Trevor!!!

I used the ED80 for that image.



It's OK Bob, they come printed in reverse and upside down :thumbsup: :lol:
