Hi everyone:hi:,
Yesterday was very clear but also very windy so the seeing was terrible despite this i wanted to observe this galaxy as i heard that its bright and easy to find and so it was but fainter than i imagined it to be.
NGC 4945- Very easy to find between the to Xi stars but pretty faint.I could hardly notice a core, it just looked like a streak of light . It was brighter in the middle and then got fainter to the out reaches of the arms.It was in a very nice star field ,unfortunately i haven't finished the sketch but will still show you what i am up to and try to finish it off tonight,weather permitting:P.Telescope used was a 130mm reflector and a 25mm plossoll ep.magnification was 36X.
Thanks for reading and viewing:thumbsup:
