Date & Time: 27 May 2003 11 pm to 1 am Seeing: 5 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>. Transparency: fair degrading to poor Location of site: Silverdale WA, USA 47N 123W Site classification: suburb-rural Conditions: temp 50 F, damp Sky darkness: 5.6 <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: Celestron C8 Eyepieces: not used Additional: DX-8263SL video camera at f2.3 Magnification: app. 80x integrated 2 sec exposures |
Also far east of the Virgo
cluster center. These are hardly worth the trip. SIMBAD database has NGC5813
listed as magnitude 12.5 vice the 10.5 on our list, maybe a typo. But NGC5806
is listed as 12.9 vice 11.7. I will agree with SIMBAD, both these are faint.
'Primary' an elliptical and 'secondary' a spiral.
