Location of site: Rolla, MO  USA (Lat 37 57'N, Elev )
Site classification: Rural
Sky darkness: 6.5 <Limiting magnitude>
Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Moon presence: None - moon not in sky
Instrument: 10.1" f/4.5 Newtonian reflector
Magnification: 77x, 128x, 193x
Filter(s): None
Object(s): NGC 2329
Category: External galaxy.
Class: 
Constellation: Lyn
Data: mag 12.5  size 1.0' X 1.0'
Position: RA 07:09  DEC +48:37
Description:
A uniform round halo which shows slight diffuse brightening toward the core.
A wide pair of 10th and 11th magnitude stars, aligned NE-SW, are located
just to the S..  While the galaxy was visible with averted vision at 77x,
it did not bear magnification well and began to fade into the background at
193x.  Several fainter galaxies are plotted inside of the same 128x (34')
field centered on NGC2329 and while several were suspected during moments
of steady seeing, none could be confirmed.
