We'll have numerous deep sky objects to observe this weekend at ECSP, but there are two particularly well suited to small as well as larger apertures.
?
NGC 3115, aka The Spindle Galaxy in Sextans. The thin edge-on galaxy is quite a treat in modest to large telescopes.
?
NGC 3424, aka The Ghost of Jupiter in Hydra. An awesome planetary nebula with very high surface brightness. I observed it last night in Virginia Beach at 500. Look for the brighter central portion shaped much like the "CBS-Eye".
