Dear friends ... and maybe maybe maybe maybe Seanie,

It took a few days due to cat-and-mouse games with the clouds at night to process my results from a few nights ago involving the dwarf galaxy and member of the local group NGC 185 in Cassiopeia.

Aside from being bound to another dwarf galaxy, NGC 147, less than one degree away, NGC 185 is also known for its eight globular clusters which range in magnitude from 16.6 to 19.7 and are aged from 5 to 10 billion years-old.

For the result which includes all eight globulars, please see www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-0185-GCS.htm (the image is hyperlinked and clicking on it loads a larger photo).

For a similar result from last year (NGC 205) and which includes fifteen clusters in and around NGC 205, please see www.perseus.gr/Astro-DSO-NGC-0205-GCS.htm .

Please no enquiries as to the availability of my AP160! :-)

Anthony.

Nicely done as always Anto. I see you also managed to retain the dark structure towards the core of the dwarf aswell.
