FGC 2379

Elevation 800 m, telescope D = 508 mm, F = 2000 mm. Sky 21.42 mag/sq arcsec, seeing 1 arcsec. FGC 2379, flat galaxy in Peg (UGC 11964). In both 8 mm and 5.5 mm oculars, there is a suggestion of a galaxy next to two threshold stars [Vm~16]. In 3.5 mm with movement, a nebulosity is visible that extends orthogonally to the stars to the SW, closer to the NW star. It is much wider than on DSS. [In the sketch, the FGC is the small galaxy in the upper right. The large galaxy is NGC 7241.]
