NGC 4298 & NGC 4302 |
|
| NGC 4298 and NGC 4302 are two galaxies nicely grouped for amateur imaging. They are located among a swarm of galaxies in the constellation of Coma Bernicies. This was one of my early images taken the first week I owned the MX-5C. I hope to improve on the image quality the next chance I get to image these guys. The galaxies are located about 7-1/2 degrees east of the star Denebola, which is eastern most bright star in the constellation Leo. At magnitude 11+, you'll need dark skies and an 8 inch scope to see them visually. | |
