Hi all,
Beautiful night last night in Sydney, though being in the city plenty of light. Thought I'd have my first serious attempt at a Galaxy and tried my hand at finding NGC5128. Absolutely no joy though. Was using a 25mm eyepiece on my 8" reflector, but, alas, no joy.
Kept plugging away at it for about 1/2 hour till my head kept hitting the scope as i was dozing off!
Is it possible to see this galaxy through city lights? Should I be using a larger eyepiece...do larger ones exist?
Any help appreciated!
Kind regards, mike
