Description

There are several galaxies around the Mag. 7.6 star SAO 54647 (HIP6 467) in Pisces,among them the mag 13 lenticular galaxy NGC 507 with it's companigion NGC 508 close by, about 250 m.ly. from Earth. Other galaxies include NGC 495; NGC 504; NGC 494; NGC 517; NGC 515; NGC 483; NGC 496; NGC 498; NGC 501; IC 1679; IC 1680; IC 1692; IC 1691; IC 1685; IC 1690 and NGC 503. I played around with this group of galaxies in January using both the ASI1600m and 294c. I like how the bright star stands out among the floating galaxies far out in space. For sure I shall add more lum data here and hopefully gather 20-30 hrs of data during next season . Enjoy....
