Three mag 13 galaxies IN TOWN!

[Gem (Grant)]

Clear skies finally!!! First chance to give the scope a really good work out and it didn't disappoint... 3 mag 13 galaxies all before 8pm!! WOW!

Ok, for sure they are only little smudges, but hey! I'm happy!
NGC 3783
NGC 4645
NGC 4767

I won't bother boring you with the mag 11 and 12 stuff, I'm just wrapped I could pick up mag 13 galaxies in town!!!!!

Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!

Well done with the faint fuzzies, especially in town. It doesn't take much stray light to make those critters hide. Probably a bit of frostbite too looking at temps for down your way!

Woohooo way to go Grant!

I hope your eye socket didn't stick and freeze to the eye piece though...

I am only 500m from Canberra Hospital, so there is a bit of light pollution! No where near Sydney or Melbourne, I admit.

Still, I am stoked! Mag 13 with a 9.25"
