Early this spring I observed the galaxy group Hickson 44 in the constellation of Leo. I was using my 10″ dobsonian mounted reflector. I have loved looking at interacting pairs of galaxies but this was my first real cluster that was seen in a single field-of-view. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I enjoyed sketching it.
Buddy,
Wow! You have really got off to a great start. I will for sure be following along with your progress, and new entries.

This group was quite disappointing to me this year, at least so far because of observing conditions. I think it will be too late now so I’ll have to wait until next year.
I thought your sketch of the Hickson 44 group was very good and much improved. It shows how much your trying. Thank you for your coments Fred.
