Instrument: 6", f/6.7 newtonian
Magnification: 105x, 210x
Filter(s): DeepSky
Object(s): NGC 2419 (Intergalactic Wanderer)
Category: Globular cluster.
Class: II
Constellation: Lynx
Data: mag 10.4 size 6.2'
Position: RA 07:38 DEC +38:53
Description:
Found next to m=7.2 star TYC 2958 330 as an extremely faint
smudge. After some gazing at 105x it appears to be a medium sized
round blob with a stellar core. At 210x it disappears
completely. Using the DeepSky filter at 105x increases the size of the
blob a little and it becomes much easier to see. The stellar core
disappears however. To the north two m=12.8 and m=13.2 stars were
seen. To the west an m=13.2 star is seen. The m=13.2 star to the west
was easier than the m=13.2 star tot he north. These magnitudes are
from the GSC.
