NGC 891, a bright edge-on spiral galaxy in Andromeda
Sketch and Details by Kiminori Ikebe, translation by Eiji Kato
A dark band crosses the center. NGC 891 is a rather large and bright edge-on galaxy. Like a typical edge-on, the outline is sharp. The central bulge is thicker and has a strong condensation. Both ends are diffuse and faint. In the Milky Way there are many faint stars.
This sketch of NGC 891 was made at the eyepiece of a 50 cm. telescope at 220x on the 18th of August in 2002.
Kiminori,
This is good sketch.
