NGC 217 in Cetus
Date of Observation ... December 8, 2020 |
NGC 217 in Cetus is listed at magnitude 13.5, which is very faint compared to most of the other galaxies on the H400ii list. Interestingly, the object is not even plotted in TheSky® software; no matter what filter I apply, it does not show up. I used 123x to observe it and noted it as very faint, extended with a spindle shape; even though it was marked by low surface brightness it was evident immediately upon looking at it. I know that it was the right object because I the stars on either end of it were in the right orientation and separation. |
