notes are very raw as I was socializing most of the
night while observing. I will enhance them
when I get the chance.

trio of galaxies arranged NW-SE. MCG+7-15-6 (1.0 x 0.4’ 14.8) – Considerably
bright 3:1 elongated glow with a brighter center. A very faint
star is just off the NW tip. 0.7’ long and

center. Somewhat
diffuse edges. 0.4’
long and PA = 45 |

22” f/4 (230, 328 and 383x) – A double
galaxy with a third member sitting 2.4’ west. MCG+8-13-81 (0.7 x 0.4’ 15.3) –
Considerably faint very small round glow. Defined edges. 0.4’ across. MCG+8-13-84 (1.0 x 0.5’ 15.3)
and UGC 3706 (0.6 x 0.4’ 14.7) –
Two considerably faint very small round glows that were
barely spit. Defined
edges and compact.
0.2’ across.
0.4’ apart.
Slightly dimmer than MCG+8-13-81. |
