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...
