June 24, 2020 13.1" f/4.5 dobsonian 123x King George Co., VA (light pollution map) Eric David drifting clouds then clear, humid, 4-day Moon |
Early in the evening, high clouds drifted around the sky and interfered with the view, during the time when I observed this galaxy. The sky may still have had a touch of twilight when I first began to search for it. After several attempts, I was able to detect this galaxy using averted vision; one of the things I had to do was go from 76x up to 123x and wait for the Moon to be covered by clouds to suppress some of the light pollution. I could not make out any details or structure, just a faint hazy spot in the correct location. |
