Hi
I was looking at Draco on HNSKY (a digital sky map),
and it listed a fairly large galaxy in Draco,
UGC10822. It seemed to be as large as M101!
As I checked google for pics, I couldn't find any
really distinctive pics...only sky surveys that
didn't seem to show much of anything but stars,
with only the vaguest, subtlest hint of "something"
in the pic.
Has anybody tried imaging UGC10822? (aka Draco Dwarf)
Would anybody be willing to try? What's striking about
it is its size: 33.5'x9.9' By comparison, M81 is 21'x10'.
Though at 11.9 mag, it looks hard to spot visually.
RA: 17:20:12.00
DEC: 57:55:0.00
If anybody's got a pic, I'd love to see it. I'm gonna
give it a go on the next new moon.
