Description

NGC 4676 A/B) Mice Galaxies ARP242 Interacting Galaxy - Size 2' 20" x 00'27" Magnitude 14.10 350 Million Light Years distant. Bin 2x2

Experiment to find the practical limits of my 620 mm telescope at my skill level and location....I think I found it! It was fun learning anyway. Conditions were about as good as could be expected with the moon below the horizon except for the last hour. More exposure time would have helped but I am not that ambitious anymore to be willing to lose the sleep. I will seek out larger targets in the future unless Santa Claus brings me a more powerful scope.....(Not Likely)!
