Holding up the sky
Hi Glen & All,
Here is my observation of NGC 2573 in 2005 (46cm):
x185 27' TF
NGC 2573 Galaxy
*RA: 01h 41m 43.0s Dec: -89° 20' 05"
Mag: 14.1 (B) S.B.: --- B-V: +0.59
Size: 2.0'x0.7' Class: SAB(s)cd: P.A.: 98 Inclination: --- R.V.: ---
Always wanted to see this one, but never got round to it till now! A small moderately faint eg -- impossible to determine PA!!. Elong 1.25 x 30" with a faint outer halo and a slightly brighter core area but no nucleus.
-73 A & B I've not tried but will have a go next time I think of it. I'm impressed that Ron has seen them with 40cm -- well done. From looking at the DSS, they look to me like a small, disrupted barred spiral (A) interacting with a barred magellanic-type irregular (B). Small, distant, faint and very LSB -- just the sort of thing I like to look at !
Best,
Les D
