One from Orion
Here we have an observation from last night of NGC 1924, a galaxy that I observed and sketched several times before. Perhaps last night I grabbed a little more detail it the spiral layout than previous session had yielded.
An inverted sketch of NGC 1924 by Dale Holt from his Chippingdale observatory in Hertfordshire using his 505mm Newtonian with a Watec 120N+ video camera. A face on barred spiral in Orion, magnitude 13.2 and 1.6'x1.2'. My sketch shows some breaks or disturbance in the spiral structure. Discovered by W Herschel in October 1785. Distance 108 mly and diameter 53,000 ly.
