NGC 1365 = ESO 358-017 = MCG -06-08-026 = VV 825 = LGG 094-007 = PGC 13179 03 33 35.9 -36 08 24 V = 9.6; Size 11.2x6.2; SB = 14.1; PA = 32d 20" f/5 (7/8/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): viewed in the 20" f/5 at 127x and 212x appeared as an amazing two-armed barred spiral, similar to the photographic appearance. The core is a quite bright, bulging oval embedded in a larger bar oriented ~E-W. Attached at opposite ends of the bar are two long, graceful arms which extend quite a distance and are nearly straight. The arm attached on the west side of the bar wraps around a mag 12.5 star about 1' NW of the core and extends well beyond towards the NE. The opposite arm attached on the following end is slightly fainter and shoots towards the SW. The tips of the outer arms dramatically increase the total size of the galaxy. 13": bright, elongated core, large, 3' diameter, very diffuse outer halo. Member of the Fornax I cluster. 8": fairly bright, fairly large, bright core, diffuse halo, broad concentration. | |||
