This Friday I have received the Antares Barlow x1, 6 and wanted to make the premiere, really long time since we left because of bad weather (September), but I finally I could remove the mono output. As always we were the group and this time signed up members of the Association of San Fernando at the exit with us. We must also thank the Mayor of Benamahoma, thanks to him, we could take another observation site. Also I have to thank Jesus (Astropoli) for the photos, because that night I took the camera and the photos are his reporting. We pointing to galaxies, are the objects that we like to see, and we see the NGC 383, also I can see the galaxies NGC 380 and NGC 379, the note with the LB Meade 12 "and my hyperion of 17 mm (x90 .) Also look in the telescope of 16 "with the ethos 21 mm, and hallucinations because the image looks like a string of sausages, they look great, and is one of the best images of the night. With my Meade, both look good and one can sense, but in the 16 "I can see some more, I think I manage to count to 7.
After way to see NGC 1129 is in Perseus, with the hyperion of 17 mm, although the image in my telescope is rather poor, compared to the 12 "Harvey Nagler Jare and 17 and the image stands out more with the makes me think and in a cleaned optical or not collimate the telescope as it should. The latter for sure, because I did not want to eat much the bogeyman that night. To put the Barlow x1, 6 (X143), the picture improves a little in my telescope, but I say, that night, I see that has already lost light.
then go on to observe the Sculptor Galaxy NGC 253 and its neighbors, NGC 288 (globular cluster) and the other galaxy, NGC 247. I use the SCOP 35 mm this time to find them. The cluster see it as a big ball of cotton. The 247's look pretty weak, the truth, even the sky that night not to shoot rockets. With the hyperion of 17 mm, it looks good the structure of NGC 253. The cluster is resolved a bit with this eyepiece, but with the Nagle 17 and Barlow, if that is the star looks good point, and shaped like a cotton ball. The galaxy is to freak out with the combination of 17 mm Nagler and Barlow. Then I go to the telescope of 16 "because it is the veil with the ethos of 21 mm and the NPB filter, as always, is to deceive in color.
then go on to observe M77 in Cetus with hyperion 17 mm. I also want to see the galaxy NGC 1055, which is near. Also to move the telescope, I can see two galaxies, NGC 1087 and NGC 1090, are very close both of M77 and are also affordable to observe. aim to Jupiter with the hyperion of 17 mm and Barlow (X143), but the night is not very good, and it shows the truth that these increases should have been better, but I say, that night does not anymore.
Then we will observe the area of \u200b\u200bthe Cone Nebula, or NGC 2264 Christmas tree, the truth is some gray area, but I dare say that we could see the nebula, we use the H-beta filter but does not help with the UHC filter is highlighted over an area, but I say that I dare not tell whether this is the nebula.
Finally, through the starry night, we see the comet that is in canis minor, first observe it with binoculars, and then we see with the telescope eyepiece Meade Javi and 5000 of 28 mm. As it happens, that is attached to a star, and we will see the relative motion with respect to the star, is the first time it happens, and it 's sick in color. The observation of the comet is like a beanbag. With the 17 mm Nagler, greatly improves the image of the comet, and it seems that he is seen to eat, although I would confirmed with a photo.
Well, finally we collect, with some moisture in the sky, although the teams did not get wet, and we enjoyed a great night of observation, the temperature marking the car was 12 º C when I left at 3 in the morning.
