Glen, did J Dunlop make mention of ngc7599 in the Grus Quartet?
I couldn't resist, here's a screen shot of the Fornax cluster from Starry Night
Pro 5 Plus. I've just included the main objects you guy's are showing above.
It's more to give Barb and David a small peek at what SNP looks like.
Except for NGC1365 this looks pretty how it does in my 8" newt. Using a
30mm SV I've managed to count up to 10 galaxies in the FOV at one time.
SNP allows to you to download any object from the DSS Ditigal Sky Survey
and load it stright into SNP, so you get a representation of the object
instead of a circle.
I suppose you'll love the Virgo-Coma cluster when she comes around again,
which has just pasted behind the sun. and will be a late morning thing
shortly. It's a virtual multiple galaxy FOV feast
What do you think Dunlop means here?
Is he describing N7590 and N7599 or N7590 and the star north of it?
He says they have nearly the same RA but are 1' apart in dec.
The galaxies are 5' apart in RA and the star is 1' north of N7590.
This is what he wrote. D477
Two very small round nebulae, nearly the same AR, and differing about 1' in polar distances.
