NGC 4100 (Galaxy) Right ascension: 12h 07m Declination: 49° 30' Constellation: Ursa Major Date/time: 2014.05.23 22:30 UT Equipment: 12" f/5 Newtonian FoV: 25' Magnification and filter(s): 167x Seeing: 6/10 Transparency: 3/5 SQM: 21.11 m/as2 Temperature: 13°C Humidity: dry Wind: none Sight: 2 - minor details, somewhat interesting Difficulty: 4 - hardly visible, dark adaptation and very dark skies needed, averted vision is required to see details Position: 3 - moderate, some starhopping needed Location: Nádasdladány, Hungary Observer: Ferenc Lovró Description: Faint galaxy with a N-S elongation and a very nice oval shape that's no too flat, but looks a bit like a cigar. Its Northern side appears a bit brighter. Situated in a nice stellar neighborhood. Hi-resolution image: [ reversed sketch | original sketch ]
