Good morning all,
Arp 37 is actually better known as M77 in Cetus an object that I have sketched a number of times before, this one was deliberately just for my Arp project, lots of detail seen in this very interesting galaxy, perhaps not as much of the faint extended halo that can be seen in some CCD images as I would have liked. The sky was somewhat ‘milky’ with the SQM reading just 19.05 compared with 20.70 the previous evening, any moisture in the air causes light scatter and brings the London glow to the south, regrettably, closer to home!

Hello Dale,
Very fine sketch on Arp 37.
Remarkable stellar core and obvious spiral arms and glow.
Well done.
Frank 🙂
