Instrument: 30CM, f:10 SCT, MEADE LX200
Magnification: 134X, 254X
Filter(s): NONE
Object(s): NGC3145
Category: External galaxy.
Class: SB
Constellation: Hyd
Data: mag 12.5 size 3.0' x 1.5'
Position: RA 10:10.1 DEC -12:26.0
Description:
134X-NGC3145 appears as a bright oval oriented N. N. E. The halo is diffuse,
gradually brighter toward the center with a suddenly bright compact core. (Not
Stellar)
254X-NGC3145 appears much the same as at 134X. Though I suspect spiral
structure, one to the North, CCW. Passing clouds are a nuisance and 41 Hydra
causes consideranle glare even though it is placed outside the FOV.
More aperture and darker skies are required to observe this object.
No other DSO's seen in the FOV.
