NGC 2196 in Lepus
Date of Obs ....... January 13, 2021 |
NGC 2196 is on the eastern side of the main pattern of Lepus, in the southerly part of the constellation. I thought this galaxy was very faint, with a low surface brightness; I could not detect any structure, no core, and averted vision was required to find and hold it in view. It was so faint that even with careful star-hopping I found it difficult to locate. |
