Did an automated run of half an hour each on assorted high altitude Messier objects after a failed run at Palomar 4. #astrophotography #seestar #M102 #M92 #M57 #M13 #M27 #M71 #M15

This is rare, but I'm noticing Long Term Release #Stable version of #ChromeOS is flipping between #M96 and #M102. This is happening across multiple boards as well.

M102

M102 is a galaxy listed in the Messier Catalogue that cannot be unambiguously identified. Its original discoverer Pierre Méchain said that it was a duplicate observation of Messier 101, but more historical evidence favors that it is NGC 5866, although other galaxies have been suggested as possible identities. NASA considers it to be the same as NGC 5866.

M102 (NGC 5866)

Magnitude 9.9 lenticular galaxy located 50 million light-years away in the constellation Draco. One of the most outstanding features of NGC 5866 is the extended dust disk, which is seen almost exactly edge-on. This dust lane is highly unusual for a lenticular galaxy.
