DECEMBER 2014 OBSERVERS CHALLENGE – NGC-0672

Please don’t be deceived by the cataloged magnitudes for these galaxies. They are much more difficult than you might think due to the very low-surface-brightness.

NGC 672 @ magnitude 10.8 

IC 1727 @ magnitude 11.5 

The following pencil sketch was made using a 10-inch reflector @ 104x, from my backyard with a 5.0 NELM.   Roger
