Galaxies
This is the third of five posts on easy deep sky objects. All of these galaxies are south of declination +42 so they are visible from all of Australia except M31 is difficult from Hobart. (maximum altitude 6 degrees)
Most of these galaxies (GXY) are easy deep sky objects for beginners to see. I think the best GXY are:
NGC 55, M 31, NGC 253, SMC, NGC 300, M 33, M 77, NGC 1291, NGC 1313, NGC 1316, LMC, NGC 2903, NGC 3115, NGC 3521
M 66, M 84, M 85, M 86, M 49, M 87, M 104, M 60, M 64, NGC 4945, NGC 5128, M 83, NGC 7793
The above list is in RA order. The galaxies in Virgo transit tonight at about midnight AEST.
