SDSS |
The brightest members of Abell 2065 are mag
16.5. The galaxies are not as super tightly packed as some Hickson groups, but a magnification of 300x was
required with my 22" Dob to keep things apart (tracking with an equatorial
platform is quite comfortable for things like this). I could see three isolated
galaxies with certainty (# 1, 3, and 6 on Steve Gottlieb's page, see below), of
which two could be seen steadily with averted vision. With other members, I was
not completely sure as faint foreground stars were nearby or the galaxies
themselves were to close to each other.
The SDSS image to the left has a size of
15x15 arc minutes.
