Object: Galaxy cluster ABELL 262, ugc1344 f. Constell: AND RA: 01h 52.9m (abell) Decl: +36° 08' Epoch: 2000 Mag: 13.3m (Brst) Size: 86' Type: 0 1 III Observer: Jere Kahanpää Obs. place: Hartola, Finland Date/Time: 23./24.8.1996, 02.35 Telescope: N 205/1000 Magn: 133x Filter: Field: 22' NE Lim.mag: 6.2m Background sky: 2 Seeing: 2-3 Weather: +8 °C, no Moon. Brightness: see below Alt: 55° Description: The brightest galaxy in the field is UGC 1350 (13.3m (v), 1.8'x1.2', SB(r)b, Br4): Round, slightly concentrated towards a faint (15m) stellar nucleus. UGC 1347 (12.8m (v), 1.3'x1.1', SAB(rs)c, Br5) is as bright as - 50 but more concentrated. A mag. 12 star is very near and interferes with the view. Diam. about 40''. UGC 1344 (12.6m (v), 1.6'x0.8', SBa, Br5+) the most difficult of 3. Very small (Diam. 20''-30'') and very near a mag. 11 star which makes seeing the galaxy difficult.
