NGC 1087 was easy to see, it was fairly large compared to other galaxies I had observed this evening, and with a high surface brightness, so it stood out almost immediately upon sweeping over it. NGC 1090 was a different story, however; it was much more difficult, although I could barely detect that it was situated with a specific orientation, so some of the spindle shape was detectable. |
