Still so much to discover

We are not new observers but not really old ones either. I suppose a little over a decade makes us novices. In any case, wandering over a small star atlas led me to pay attention to NGC 246. Neither my wife or I had ever observed it. So with a little help from astro-video tools on a modest scope I took a little less than an hour to enjoy discovering the nuances of it's shape and color. What a pleasure...and enough of one so we also included a little story and sketch on our site. Here is the sketch, and the video settings and telescope are on the sketch/observing form.

Strong work, Roland. Makes me want to have a look at this object again.

Thank you, Russell and Kim. It was a good time. Glad you enjoyed the observation.

Could we please avoid shining crosses and Bible citations here at the DSO observation forum?
