Observing Notes
Andrew Cooper
Oct 26, 2023 Waikoloa, HI (map)
20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 76x
Seeing: 6 Transparency: 7 Moon: 0%
Small but obvious, extended 2' x 1' east to west brighter to the center, the listing notes a 4' diameter object suspect I am seeing only the central region
Survey images show a bright east to west running central bar and core in a larger and notably fainter 4-5' round halo of a face-on barred spiral galaxy
