The night when galaxies came out to play

#1

Post by Bigzmey »


4/9/21

Location: Anza desert site, Bortle 3.5
Equipment: Celestron 9.25” Edge HD SCT and Celestron 150ST achro on SW SkyTee 2 manual AltAz mount.

Another fine day in Southern California. To share with you a bit of spring mood, here is a pic of our orange tree blossoms with bees buzzing around. What a welcome sight!
Orange bloom 041221.jpg
The desert is drab this year but can’t beat the cool dry weather. No summer heat yet.

Binoviewer setup

Upon arrival to Anza and setting the camp I had an hour to play with binoviewers. This time managed to get them to focus with 150ST. This is a popular scope, been offered over the years by Celestron and Skywatcher, and my Orion binoviewer is a mass-produced design, rebranded by many companies (Orion, Celestron, William Optics, Stelarvue, etc.). So, I figured that this configuration might be of interest to others.

The light train shown in the pic below consists of GSO dual speed crayford focuser (rebranded by several vendors, has shorter light path than stock R&P focuser); 35mm extension tube; Baader T2 prism diagonal, nosepiece from Celestron 2x barlow (also rebranded by many vendors) and Orion binoviewer.
150ST BVs setup.jpg
I suspect that Baader T2 prism could be substituted by any other 1.25” prism. Next time I will test 2” mirror and prism diagonals, because I think that ‘35mm extension tube-Baader T2 prism’ combo could be substituted with either of those. Another thought is that if you still have the stock focuser you may not need the 35mm extension, just the T2 or 1.25” prism (maybe mirror) diagonal and the barlow nosepiece. I still need to figure out the factor of the barlow nosepiece. I suspect it is in 1.2-1.3x range.

I run out of daylight and did not have a chance to play with Edge 9.25” BV setup this time.

V1405 Cas Nova

Next on my list was V1405 Nova in Cassiopeia. At dusk it was already too low for the scopes. I went to higher ground and tried with 15x70 binos. Anza site has nice dark skies down to horizon to the east. However, lower portions to the south, west and in particular north are compromised by light domes. Finding the spot was easy using M52 as a reference. I couldn’t however pinpoint the exact nova location because some of the reference stars were lost in the light pollution. When I came home and checked EathSky wide field photo, I realized that I saw the nova but mistaken it for a field star because it was brighter than expected. Hopefully, I get another go to confirm.

By 20:30 the sky got that dark ‘galaxy-ready’ tone. My last session was when the galaxies went in hiding. Most of the targets were barely resolved as averted vision glow. This evening they came out to play with shapes well defined and for most I was able to resolve some structural features. Hunting them was pure joy.

Hydra galaxies (all observed with the Edge 9.25”)

NGC 2555 – a pear shape with two dots of light imbedded in. I thought something neat was there, but when I checked at home afterwards it appeared that the dots were two stars shining through a spiral galaxy disk. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2618 – faint elongated glow with AV. Pentax XW 20mm (118x), XW 14mm (168x).
NGC 2695 – small bright disk with stellar core. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2697 – same FOV with NGC 2695, wide oval with brighter central area. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).

NGC 2698 – elongated oval. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2699 – same FOV with NGC 2698, small oval with stellar core. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2708 (aka NGC 2727) – narrow lens. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2721 – faint oval with bar. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2722 (aka NGC 2733) – small lens. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).

NGC 2863 (aka NGC 2869) – narrow oval with brighter central area. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2902 – faint disk with brighter central area. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2921 – very faint narrow shape wit AV, moving EP for detection. Pentax XW 20mm (118x), XW 14mm (168x).
NGC 2992 – narrow edge-on with brighter core. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2993 – same FOV with NGC 2992; small round disk with brighter central area. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).

NGC 3072 – very faint oval with AV, moving EP for detection. Pentax XW 14mm (168x).
NGC 3402 (aka NGC 3411) – round disk with brighter core. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 4087 – oval with brighter core. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 4970 – very faint oval with AV. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 4993 (aka NGC 4994) – faint disk. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 5592 – small, narrow, very faint spot with AV. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).

Sextans galaxies (all observed with the Edge 9.25”)

NGC 2969 – faint elongated oval with AV. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2979 (aka 3050) – narrow disk with brighter line across. Looking at the pics it appears that I have detected the bar and brighter portions of arms coming from it. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2980 – small faint spot with AV. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 2990 – small oval next to star. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).
NGC 3055 – faint narrow oval with brighter central area. Pentax XW 20mm (118x).

That is quite a haul Andrey! :)

At the rate I go in my back yard, that would probably be around seven sessions. I am looking forward to reading what you think about the ES 62 26mm eyepiece(s) in that binoviewer and how it all works out for you.

Thanks for sharing your experience and pictures!

Thanks Bill! I need to get second ES62 26mm to use in BV. Waiting for one with a good price to show up.

Thanks for the great report Andrey. Sounds like the skies were fully dark and cooperative! Excellent haul of the faint fuzzies.

Very fine galaxy report Andrey, and I know the alert tone of which you speak! All sorts of bells and whistles go off when its time to hunt galaxies. ;)

Sounds like you had a great time and glad you are getting some time at Anza to pursue the denizens of the deep! :)

Great report Andrey! Very impressive haul of galaxies you bagged. Happy to hear the sky conditions cooperated better for you this time out.
I've been wanting to take a shot at V1405, but I have way too many trees to get down that low to see it.

Wow, that is quite an amazing report Bigz!
The Edge must be an awesome scope and I am sure that you are very happy with it.

Quite an extensive collection of targets that you bagged. What an awesome night! Thanks for sharing!

I know that you are really happy to be back at Anza!

Thanks Craig! It just occured to me that if I wake up ~4 am V1405 will be at the highest position. I will give it a shot.

That's quite the viewing session Andrey; good for you! I was admiring your binoviewer setup as well. I had no idea about V1405 Cas either; I will have to look for that if my skies clear soon or ever...

Glad you had a good time!

All the best,
Mark
