Are we sure Maasewerd 2 is a real object? I have looked at several deep images of M33 and cannot see a thing at the position where this "nebula" can be seen in Mr. Maasewerd's image.
Edit:
Ok. I...
Now my observations of NGC 7640:
October 5th 2021 (Okie-Tex Star Party), 395×, 18" f/4.5: "Nice, elongated, mottled LSB galaxy with a brighter core. Hints of a curved southern arm flash...
Having worked on AI / ML models in my career (although in computer vision, not natural language), my understanding of them is that they mostly produce reasonable samples drawn from a statistical...
I've only logged PN Abell 6 through John Tatarchuk's 25" telescope back in the early part of the last decade.
My rough sketch shows a circular glow with some sensation of mottling.

Hi, here's my observation from 11/25/2024: Ngc 136 open cluster in Cassiopeia ; magnitude:11.0; size: 3.3' ; very faint, small and compressed ; I used a 8mm Ethos at 238x with my 14.5...
Nice choice!
As it happens I wrote an article about the Milky Way in Cassiopeia last week for the Dutch AstroForum because we chose NGC 663 to be Object Of The Month. There are dust clouds in...

Here are my observations of the galaxies through Jimi's scope back in February 2012 at 488x and my 24" at 375x the following year on a night when heavy dew cut down the transparency:

I didn't know that HFG is near Abell 6. I'll go look for it the next time I go out.
However, here is one observation of Abell 6 about 20-25 years ago with a 22" reflector under NELM 6.5 skies.

Nice trio of flat galaxies.
My brief notes with my 22" observed 14 years ago. Observing site was at 7,800 feet elevation and NELM that night was 7.2

I will follow Steve's observation here.
HFG 1 is sad the more easily object and don't need large aperture. I copy my observations in:

round glow; easy to hold with averted...
I'm surprised no one has replied as several observations of HFG 1 were posted on this thread in 2015 including a 4" description by Uwe. Abell 6 is a much tougher target. Have you observed it, Mark?...
Hello Folks,
here is my sketch from M 33 with low magnification (48x). I used my 10 inch Telesope
