Re: [Utah-astronomy] Weekend observing report from Gravel Pit & Rush Valley
I visited the 3190 group three times this week through my 15", a 20" Starmaster and a 25" Obsession. I saw all four galaxies in all three telescopes. The fourth was the faintest. I need to track down a picture of the galaxy group. It is a fun group to view. My seeing down here wasn't all that great this weekend. I packed it in a 12 midnight last night when the sky went to much. The warmer temperatures haven't helped the seeing. It was very warm last night and we smelled the awful ordor of a skunk. Debbie
Debbie Here are some pictures of NGC 3190: http://skyview.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/nnskcall.pl?Interface=bform&VCOORD=ngc+... http://www.noao.edu/outreach/aop/observers/n3190.html http://rppass.com/n3190-00.htm http://www.astrooptik.com/Bildergalerie/PolluxGallery/NGC3190.htm I take it from your post that Jim V. got his 25" up and running. Would love to have seen that. JG UTAHDEB@aol.com wrote: I visited the 3190 group three times this week through my 15", a 20" Starmaster and a 25" Obsession.

Deb, was it the barred spiral seen in the photos that Jim sent you that was the faintest of the 4? db
