Virgo The Madeen is the second largest constellation, which covers 3.1 percent of the sky. It has 11 mesier objects, tons worthy of tons. New general listYou can count more than more unconscious galaxies. In this brief guide, I want to overcome the size of this constellation and provide a list of best items to indicate my scope. I list them in order to increase the right origin. This means that Western objects come first and, as you see, rise high in the latter sky.
A crowded ground
Our first item is Silver Streak Galaxy (NGC 4216It is situated on the western edge of the coma-class cluster of galaxies. From a dark site, an 11 -inch telescope will reveal several hundred galaxies here, so take your time and make sure about your identity. NGC 4216 approximately a magnitude of light appears as a 10 line until it is wide (up to 7.8 ′ 1.6 ′). The core is bright, but a large scope will be required to see its bulge.
Next goal is M61The first of the four messier objects in this list. This magnitude shines at 9.7 and measures 6.0 ′ up to 5.9 ‘. It is a face-on spiral galaxy; However, its arms are tightly air around the core, so it does not look almost as good like other people of this type. He said, an 11 -inch telescope will let you see the stubboring extension of two arms. On high magnification, through a really large scope, look for a thick bar that runs in the north-south through this object.
Our next thing – NGC 4429 – Lie in the heart of the girl cluster. It is an attractive spiral that measures twice as long as it is wide (up to 5.8 ′ 2.8 ′) and the magnitude shines at 10.2. When you inspect it, you will see two with the 9th-Parto Stars. The origin of this galaxy is about one third of its length. You will also see that the Halo area is more pronounced than the same spiral. An 8 -inch telescope is a great means to see NGC 4429 on a dark site. Crank 250x previous power to see all its details.
You will find less than 2 ° to NGC 4429 NGC 4435 And NGC 4438A pair of galaxies told the eyes. The magnitude of the magnitude 10.2 and 9.7 respectively, and they are not small, extending up to an area 8.5 ′ 3 ′. A few millions of years ago, these star cities came within 16,000 light years of each other. If you can see them within an 11 -inch radius, try to spot the distorted outer areas of NGC 4438.
Doed with eyes? 5 ° south head for lost galaxy (NGC 4535), Which is often ignored by observers. This magnitude shines at 10 and measures 7.0 ′ up to 6.4 ‘. This forbidden spiral claims a core that removes weapons. Through 11 inches or large scope, you can see that the central region looks rectangular. Crank the power ahead of 300x, and you will look at two unconscious spiral weapons that begin at the ends of one time. “Lost Galaxy” Monicer American amateur astronomer Leyland S. Comes from Copland, who wrote that it had a “blurred ghost appearance” in amateur binoculars.
Next up is unusual spiral NGC 4536This magnitude shines at 10.6 and measures 6.4 ′ to 2.6 ′, with weapons that grow almost directly out of the core. Near the core, they appear thick and bright. A third way from the core to the end of each hand, however, their brightness and thickness decreases dramatically. A 7th-Period Star sits in this galaxy only in the east-north-east of this galaxy.
For a wonderful example of interacting on galaxies, bend your telescope towards Seiami twins (NGC 4567 And NGC 4568Under a dark sky, even a 6 -inch scope will reveal their overall V shape. However, to look at any detail, you will need 11 inches or large equipment. You can tell these two galaxies to tell that NGC 4568 slightly bright (magnitude 10.9 vs. magnitude 11.3) and slightly longer (4.3 ′ vs. 3.1 ′) appears compared to your partner.
Our second messier object is next. unfortunately, M90 At least interesting spiral can be one of the galaxies you will see anytime. This is very bad, because we expect more than messier objects. It shines quite bright for a galaxy, magnitude 9.5. And it has some size, also, measures 4.4 ′ to 10.5 ‘. What you see is an object that measures twice until it is wide. The M90 spiral weapons tightly air around it, so, until your scope mirror is crossed 2 feet, form materials to check and move forward from your list.
Next in the list, forbidden spiral M58 M90 does not have much higher rate than M90. This magnitude shines at 9.6 and measures up to 5.5 ′ to 4.6 ‘. Just about the telescope of any size will show a slight oval structure of M58. Through the 16-inch or large scope, you should be able to choose a bright central bar. Around the bar, an unconscious Halo area represents spiral weapons tightly of the galaxy.
South and east
Fourth and final measier object in our list, Sombrero Galaxy (M104), Anything is there but there is a disappointment. This spiral magnitude shines at 8.0 and measures 7.1 ′ to 4.4 ‘. It is a great object to show through a medium size scope, but wait until it stands the most in the south. The lens shape of M104 and dark dust lane that divides it is easy to spot. The two sections of the Galaxy have unequal glow – excludes the north south because M104 incorporates 6 ° in our vision line. Therefore, the dust lane appears to cross the south of the center. Through a 4 -inch telescope, you can only detect dust lane near the center of the sombroro. The core is bright and a large halo surrounds it, which extends the top and bottom of the spiral arms classes near the nucleus.
next, NGC 4731There is not a bright galaxy (magnitude 11.5), but it has many features that I think you will find your observation time worth. This manifests as a highly distorted S shape because it does not travel through space alone. You will easily present its bright partner: 9.2 Watch only 0.8 ° in North -West for Endicar Galaxy NGC 4697. The gravity interaction between these two has almost destroyed the NGC 4731 spiral weapons. Through the 11 -inch telescope, inspect the long, relatively bright central bar of NGC 4731. If your observation site is dark, crank the previous electricity of 200X and look at wide, irregular spiral weapons that arise from each side of the bar. The western hand looks somewhat bright. Small bright patch within both the signal hotspots of both arms of Star Formation.
If you want to show someone an edge-on galaxy, the next item in our list will do well. Forbidden spiral NGC 4762 Glow in magnitude 10.3. As long as it is wide (9.1 ′ 2.2 ′), NGC 4762 appears as a white line through medium -sized telescopes. You will not see a central bulge through scope of any size. You all notice that the core sometimes appears bright than weapons.
Our final goal is NGC 4856A magnitude 10.4 spiral which is located with corvus near the western border of the girl. Through an 8 -inch telescope on 200X, you will see a disc with a small, bright middle region. The galaxy is spread over three times the wide (4.3 ′ 1.2 ′ to 4.3) in a northeast-to-numbers of northeast-west or 4.3). For those using 14-inch or large scope of you, crank 350x previous power and look for a magnitude 13.1 foreground star, which barely in the east of the core.
Therefore, some time soon spend some time with your binoculars on a moonlight evening, which indicates on these cool galaxies in the girl. You would be happy that you did it.
