NGC779 (Galaxy, in Cetus, Est. RaDec 1h59m +6)
Observer: Thomas Godfrey (e-mail: choccy_bourbon@hotmail.com)
Instrument: 8-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector Location: Norwich, Norfolk, England
Light pollution: moderate Transparency: excellent Seeing: good
Time: Thu Jan 11 19:55:00 2001 UT Obs. no.: 577
Although this galaxy was fairly faint it stood out from the sparse star field. It is very elongated and seemed to be slightly bent rather than a straight streak. However this effect is not described in it's Hershcel 400 entry which describes it as, 'a very long looking barred spiral'. There were also hints of detail but these were too faint to discern with any certainty.

Observer: Dave Mitsky (e-mail: djm28@psu.edu)
Instrument: 17-inch equatorial reflector Location: Harrisburg, PA, USA
Light pollution: severe Transparency: fair Seeing: good

NGC 779 is a very elongated, edge-on, barred spiral galaxy. It appeared as a fairly bright streak with a brighter nucleus. Observations were made at 118, 144, and 259x - with 144x producing the best results. Despite its listed magnitude of 11.3 this Herschel 400 galaxy is worth a look.
