Night of Leo Fuzzies - II

Continued..

M81-M82-ngc3077 - Can't fit these together in Nag31 16" view..probably just at edge-to-edge.. really surprised. infact next to m81, there is ngc3077. indeed nice view.. somehow never seen it before..

Omega Centuari - Jon pointed to the masterpiece.. Lil low on the horizon.. Scope was almost horizontal. Easy to catch.. you can feel like you can see it naked eye. Marvelous view through the Nag31.

M4 - Scorpio on SE horizon, tried M4.. indeed smaller and fainter than expected.

Antares - bright red view..

Markarains chain - browsed through markarains chain.. Again i don't know what are the galaxy numbers.. need to do more research and get comfortable with it.

M95-M96-M105-NGC 3371-3373 - Went back to Leo again.. Location was correct... When looked throu the view, can clearly see the triplet. but felt that the messier triplet is too small for the view. I mentioned to Jon that M105 is the triplet in itself.. we zoomed in with 20T2, but didn't see anything..i mentioned to jon i had definitely better view of whole thing thru my 10" than our current view.. After a while, when Jon browsed thru, we realized the real mistake.. the initial triplet we looked at itself was M105 triplet :).. and M95 and M96 were way too apart from each other..with lowest magnification, the scope 2000mm FL with 31 Nag 66x was still high to fit all messiers in same view.. indeed surprising.. need to read more abt comparision betn 65-66 and 95-96-105.

Fuzzies next to K Leo 3367-3377-3412-3346-3348 - The K leo star is next to m105, but interesting thing is there are 5 more galaxies near it.. though they are fainter than M objects, they may be of similar brightness as triplets in m105. 3 of them are on one side and closer to k leo.. 3367 is betn m105 and k leo.. 3377 is 2' clk of k-leo, while 3412 is aligned with 3377 and k-leo... Easy to catch.. while 4th one 3346 on opposite side and lil farther. The 5th one 3338 wasn't able to find it.. was loosing the direction.. any way just browsing thru these gals was just awesome.. the iphone s/w is infact showing more gals in this area.

Triplet 3193-3190-3187 - While looking for Gal pair next to Gamma Leo, Jon pointed to me to this triplet betn gamma and zeta leo stars.. First one on right next to a star, second one on lil-further and top of the star. third one still further above second one.. third one seemed to be really faint and edge-on style.
