Description:
At 244x the spiral structure is easily visible with averted vision. The galaxy
is centered by a round 1' core from which the central bar extends into E and W
directions. The two spiral arms are equally bright and extend N and S, though
the arms are slightly bent. The outer edges of the spiral arms are sharp. The
whole galaxy is embedded in a faint glow of light. Several foreground stars are
imposed on NGC 1365. Very impressive!
