10 General CCD Imaging Programs and Other Andromeda Andromeda (THE PRINCESS) hangs off the great square, which is part of Pegasus, and can be seen during the fall and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Look east during October after sunset for the great square. Once you found it, there will be a two rows of stars going off to the left. Most of the stars are around 2nd or 3rd magnitude so you should be able to see Andromeda in the city. The great Andromeda Galaxy (M31) can be seen in this constellation and is about 4th magnitude. This is the closest galaxy outside of the local group and is about 2 million light years away. There are two near by galaxies known as M32 and M110. The constellation is home to lots of faint galaxies, a nice planetary nebula, and NGC 891, another galaxy. This galaxy is is much fainter and smaller than M31 but has a nice dust lane in the middle of it. (1 of 5) [3/10/2008 3:03:57 PM]

15 General CCD Imaging Programs and Other Aquila Aquila (THE EAGLE) sits in the rich Milky Way and can seen in the evening sky from June to September when it is high in the sky. The constellation contains one of the three stars that make up the summer triangle. Altair, which is twelfth brightest star, spins very rapidly completing one revolution every 6.5 hours. Aquila is the home of a nice planetary nebula called NGC This planetary is about the same size as the Ring Nebula and looks like a crescent moon in the brighter part of the nebula. Another nice object,a loose cluster called NGC 6709, has about 40 stars that make up the cluster and is about 2,500 light years away.
