IC 443 NGC 2339
Gem
☀11.9mag
Ø 2.0' / 60''

400/500mm - 17.5" (1/23/93): faint, moderately large, elongated 3:2 N-S, fairly low even surface brightness, no central concentration. Appears similar to a faint nebulosity in a rich Milky Way field. A mag 10 star at the NW edge 1.0' from center which detracts from viewing. A mag 12 star is at the north edge 44" from the center and a fainter mag 13 star is at the south edge a similar distance from center. This is one of very brightest UGC galaxies (in total magnitude) although it has a fairly low concentration and is not at all prominent. Only 10? from galactic plane.
