[LVAS] Amargosa

[Jim Gianoulakis]

Sorry I've been out of touch but I have a new mount dialed in and I managed to get some 5 and 10 minute exposures of IC 10 last night before the clouds rolled in. I'll get them processed and figure out what I have and send them out. Visually I had absolutely nothing but I believe the galaxy is about 13th magnitude so I didn't really expect to as I was in my backyard. Maybe the image will show more.

Roger and all,
 
I saw it for the first time that last night at Redstone on 21 November.
 
It was just a faint glow against the background and now I know why I missed it. After seeing it described by a few other visual observers, I kind of knew what to look for. The last time I tried was I think at Cathedral Gorge and again at Death Valley and never saw it. I was looking for a faint fuzzy oval that was not very big. However, IC-10 was just a medium-sized faint glow that looked more like a distant open cluster. Though it was a thrill to finally find it, it was dramatially unimpressive to look at!

Rob,
 
If you should observe tonight, would you please take a look at IC-10 in Cassiopeia? I am in discussion with a couple others concerning this faint galaxy.
 
I have never observed this galaxy and would really be interested in both your visual and Mallincam view. I am hopeful to attempt before the weekend.
 
Jim Dire sent me an e-mail saying that he was going to attempt a very long exposure of our December object (NGC-474 group) if at all possible.
 
Hey, if I were there I would sure go with you. It is mostly cloudy here tonight and the wind is really howling.
 
Good luck, roger
