Early this morning just before the start of astronomical twilight I observed the...
Yeah, no problem. Like I said, I only learned the distinction between the two when I was writing about PDS 144N. And that's coming from someone who has written about proplyds!
I just figure out, that I never visited this impressive pair wit larger aperture. It must be an stunning view through your new 28" Akarsh. Congrats to the new telescope, the observation and the grand...
Akarsh, I hate to be a stickler since I only just learned this "rule" myself, but you can't technically call it a "proplyd" The reason being the term "proplyd" was coined by Robert O'Dell in 1993....
It was very easy to track down the pair at 200x (13mm Ethos), as they sit inside a triangle formed by a mag 7.0 star 18' W (HD 141063), a mag 6.6 star 24' SE, and a mag 4.6 star (1 Sco) 28' NE. At...
I observed this pair in November 2015 from a not very dark location using my 20" dob:
At 151x both NGC 7253A and B already are visible as a thin streak of light. This is also the case at 320x. At...
Great pick, Akarsh!
Two observations in my log for this pair.
First in September 2013 from the French Ardennes in my 12" SCT. I discerned both galaxies but did not observe much detail. 179x /...
With my 16" at 362x I wrote:
Nice, but faint duo. NGC 7253A is brightest and is best seen with AV as a stretched galaxy with some central brightening. Almost perpendicular to it is NGC 7253B and...
I just wanted to update that Steve, Jimi and I looked at this through Steve's 24" at the Golden State Star Party last week. This was the opening new log entry for me at the star party. I logged "A...
Back in 2009 with a 20" and 313x:"NGC-7253 showed a nice elongation and one of an interacting pair with NGC-7253B. 7253B with steady looking, I could see it as a much fainter glow. Almost makes a "V"...
NGC 7253 = VV 242 = Arp 278
Consists of NGC 7253A = UGC 11984, and NGC 7253B = UGC 11985

Hey Deep Sky Hounds,
I just uploaded an update to the Small Galaxy Groups guide with 31 new galaxy groups, more than a few in the southern hemisphere. This brings it to a total of 102 galaxy...
