Quite faint. Had to take time to let my eyes adjust to the dark. A circular noise is detectable with AV. Hard to get any details though.

09:41PM

- Target: NGC 3432, Arp 206

- Const: Leo Minor

- RaDec: 10h52m +36.37

Also faint. Had to sit patiently again to let my eyes adjust before an elongated elipse started to form. Seems pretty edge on. Can detect a few bright specks running down the center of the shape with AV.

09:50PM

- Target: NGC 3384, MCG 2-28-12

- Const: Leo

- RaDec: 10h48m +12.37

- Type: Galaxy

- Scope: AT102ED

- Setting: 55x

Easy find. Sitting very close to M 105. Seems to be more elongated than M 105, but similar in brightness.

10:11PM

- Target: NGC 4038, The Antennae with 4039

- Const: Corvus

- RaDec: 12h01m -18.52

- Type: Galaxy

- Scope: AT102ED

- Setting: 55x, AV

The shape is quite irregular. I can't tell where one ends and the other begins. Not much of a gradient. The NE side of the shape appears to be a little brighter and easier to see with AV.
