NGC 2639 in Ursa Major
Date of Obs ..... March 7, 2021 |
NGC 2639 is a galaxy in the southern part of extreme western Ursa Major, just to the upper right (northwest) of the third leap of the gazelle. I found it to be small but easily visible using 76x and direct vision. Unlike a good number of these H400ii galaxies, this one showed a very distinctive core set off from the surrounding haze. At 159x, I could see the orientation easily. This object exhibited a high surface brightness. |
