NGC3628 (Galaxy, in Leo, Est. RaDec 11 20.3 +13 36)
Observer: Eero Holmstrm (e-mail: holmerkki@altavista.net, web: http://www.fda.iwarp.com)
Instrument: 4-inch equatorial reflector Location: Pernajan Kirkonkyl, Pernaja, Finland
Light pollution: light Transparency: excellent Seeing: good
Time: Tue Apr 6 22:30:00 1999 UT Obs. no.: 495
A very elognated, but not awfully thin Sab galaxy seen edge on. I could see no immediate details. The whole galaxy looked rather faint, and with no obvious brightenings. It was very easy at a 38X magnification with averted vision. I was actually looking for M65 and M66, but to my surprise I saw this "extra" galaxy in the field of view. Since I didn't see it on the previous night, I knew transparency was a lot better.

A long, uniform faint patch, easy with averted vision, larger than M65 and M66 (which were visible in the same field), but much more subtle, making for a lovely contrast.
