NGC 5033 / 5005
Date & Time: 18 May 2003 11 pm to 1 am Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>. Transparency: good Location of site: Silverdale WA, USA 47N 123W Site classification: suburb-rural Conditions: temp 35 F, damp Sky darkness: 5.7 <Limiting magnitude> Telescope: 17.5 inch DOB, Bigdog Eyepieces: not used Additional: DX-8263SL video camera at f3 Magnification: app. 200x intergrated 2 sec exposures |
Too far apart to see at
the same time. Both are faint too. NGC5033 is listed as an Sc, but the
faint outer arms can only be guessed. NGC5005 is the brighter of the two,
but not by much. Listed as an Sb type, but the longer exposures tend to
overexpose the arm structure that I saw. These two will be difficult for
visual observers.
