As I wrote in the CN post I am not 100% sure I saw what could definitely be called a planetary nebula. Larry was very adamant he could see size and orientation. One thing, though, is we approached...
Hello Reiner, hello Alvin,
I have 9 observing notes, and 6 of them through the 15x85 binoculars with the UHC and OIII filters .
The best view has been on February 13th, 2023, NELM 6 (estimated)....
Good to know that HaTr 10 is doable. Thanks for the report Keith. I had a negative observation of the PN back in 2021 under good but not perfect conditions.
For NGC 6749 a had a positive...
Wow Jimi, truly visual giants in one picture.
It was an honour to meet Barbara in person during the TSP 2013 and observe some things together.
And you bring up the object when we together...

Hi all I am posting for Mark Friedman...
I'm away from my original logbooks and only have access to low-quality scans, but I observed this object with my 18" f/4.5 on 2022 June 26 using a DGM NPB filter. It responded well to the filter, and...
Hey deep sky hounds,
A brand new observing guide release is imminent. I have spent a ton of time and hours in the last 6 months working and building this guide. It contains more than just a...
Nice one, Owen!
2 Observation in my log. The first in September 2009 in the French Alps using my 12" SCT @ 191x / 26'. Nothing knotty observed but I did note something "stellar":
16mm Nagler...
Hi, here's my observation from 10/16/2009: Ngc 6765 is a planetary nebula in Lyra ; mag:13.1 ; size: 38" ; small, fairly faint and elongated; no central star observed. I used a 7mm Nagler with my...
Interesting story behind this object. Does not know, that this is such an unique PN with a special CS.
I got three different observations with larger aperture. My rough notes says:
16", 360x,...
Back in 1991 with a 13" at 130x + UHC: "Once I got to the area (too many stars to hop easily) it was easy. Elongated fuzzy, no brightening."
In 2006 with a 20" at 272x + UHC: "Brightening towards...
Blog update, a night of observing in France, 5-6 August 2024.
Galaxies, nebulae, a propeller, a butterfly, a flea, Calar Alto's, double stars, a cookie... heck, probably even a future OotW..!
...
For this OOTW I am choosing the other NGC planetary nebula in Lyra in NGC 6765.
I am surprised that it has not been included as an OOTW before. NGC 6765 was first
discovered by Albert Marth using...
With my 24", I found it fairly bright and well concentrated with a bright core that increased to an intense nucleus. But I found the spiral structure ill-defined with segments of curving arms...
My notes says: 27", 293x-419x, NELM 6m5+ - showy object; bright, somewhat elongated core; fainter halo with indicated spiral arms which are difficult to resolve; some stars within and at the border...
Hi everyone,
It's almost that time again - the 17th annual Alt Az Workshop is coming up September 13, 14 and 15 at Dan Gray's TMS location in Portland Oregon. Please see the attached announcement...
This past Sunday night (8/11) Larry Mitchell and I observed the Chivito at our dark site near Columbus, Tx. SQM 21.0. Excellent seeing. Scope was an 18" f4.5. Easy star hop from Iota Cep. Is the...
Great choice. I have observed this galaxy many years ago with my 6" newt. The first time it appeared elongated nw-se. The second time it appeared round. My suspicion is that it appeared elongated the...
