ASTRO: UGC 9242
Ninety some percent of the rain in California occurs between November
and March with the April - June period being unsettled. In addition, the Central Valley of California drains to the ocean through the Carquinez Strait and the San Francisco bay which means that marine moisture that enters the valley comes in through that path. My location is in that pathway and is always impacted whenever there is a marine layer intrusion into the valley. This year the rains started in October and marine layers are prevalent on the nights when the skies are clear so a clear night in which seeing is approaching a 3 is a good night. I guess I'm moaning and groaning in an attempt to say that I don't have any reasonably good images to post so I will post some images from previous years. When I checked APOD this morning and saw Hubbles view of NGC 4452 I was reminded of one the super thins I maged, UGC 9242. UGC 9242 Bootes Penryn, California April 2010 FS-128 (ag, St-4) ST-2000XM LR(s)GB 10 minutes subs UGC 9242 is un-classified as and listed as a super thin edge on galaxy without a nuclear bulge component. Note the two lobes on either end of the galaxy and the dark flattened nucleus. This galaxy is reddened and extinguished somewhat by dust with in our galaxy (max -0.50 mag.). Red shift distance is 66 Mly. |
