Target: NGC 3184, MCG 7-21-37[1]
Const: Ursa Major
RaDec: 10h18m +41.25
Type: Galaxy
Scope: AT102ED
Setting: 55x, AV

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.

Target: NGC 3432, Arp 206[1]
Const: Leo Minor
RaDec: 10h52m +36.37
Type: Galaxy
Scope: AT102ED
Setting: 55x, AV

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.

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.

Target: NGC 4038, The Antennae with 4039[1]
Const: Corvus
RaDec: 12h01m -18.52
Type: Galaxy
Scope: AT102ED
Setting: 55x, AV
Image: ../images/2024-05-02_NGC4038.jpg[2]

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.
