Contrary to above I was able to observe these two galaxies early this morning.
15:50 UT 01:50 AEST. NGC 360 straight faint bar, stars to 14th mag. no other detail.trans 6-10 seeing 5-10 temp -1deg. 13mm Nagler 5mm X CEL
16:00 UT 02:00 AEST NGC 646 very faint curl with blob on west end, just hinted at in 13mm, improved in 5mm.
Just caught these two galaxies befor they went behind the trees mentioned above.
Ceased observing after this observation as the seeing was deteriating and it was getting quite cold at -2deg and falling
The telescope was covered with ice
