A Tale Of Two Sites - Part 3

PARSAMIAN 21 REFNEB AQL 19 29.007 +09 38 39

Tiny cometary nebula visible predominantly on one side of a dim star.















Abell 64 PGC 63630 = PK 44-9.1 = CGCG 397-005 PLNNB AQL 40"x27" 19 45 34.8 +05 33 52

Dim with OIII, roundish, distinct size but not large, just west of a pair of dimmer equal magnitude stars.













Sh2- 72 BRTNB AQL 25 m 99.9 99.9 19 03.8 +02 19

12mm OIII, large, fills most of fov, centered and most condensed around star GSC 466:1790, seems somewhat square. Mostly just a slight change in contrast.













NGC 6778 PK 34-6.1 PLNNB AQL 19 s 13.3 9.1 19 18.4 -01 36

7mm OIII, bipolar planetary, two bright knots very close together with black separation between. Dimmer roundish disk surrounds bright inner pair. Central star very dimly observable.













Sh2- 64 LBN 90 BRTNB SER 20 m 99.9 99.9 18 31.6 -02 05

20mm OIII - large very dim area of nebulosity surrounding three dim stars. Not much distinct.















Abell 48 PK 29+0.1 = PN G029.0+00.4 PLNNB AQL 43"x37" 17.2 18 42 46.9 -03 13 25

7mm OIII, very small and ill defined. At edge of vision, but high percentage of time "feel" there is a dim glow. Mostly round. Off two pairs of stars at right angles to each other.













PK 26-1.1 K4- 5 PLNNB SCT 20 s 15.7 99.9 18 45.6 -06 19

12mm OIII, very unusual shape! Linear and brightest section extends e/w and appears to get thicker to the w. Under, or n of the linear section a round glow comes and goes, appearing to "hang" below the linear glow.is a "bubble" to the w of the center of the line. Bubble appears annular.










Sh 2-060 BRTNB SCT 20 18 36 40.5 -06 42 04

12mm OIII, dim even glow surrounding a pair of mag 12.6 stars.
















NGC 6539 GCL 85 GLOCL SER 2.5 m 8.9 99.9 18 04.8 -07 35

12mm, large and dim, unresolved. In heavily obscured area.















Palomar 11 GLOCL AQL 8 9.8 19 45.2 -08 00

12mm, large in fov, coarse, resolved partially. This Palomar globular appears as a diffuse, irregular glow 4' SSE of a mag 9 star. Try to resolve at high power.














Abell 60 PK 25-11.1 = PN G025.0-11.6 PLNNB SGR 88"x77" 16.2 19 19 18.6 -12 14 54

Very dim oval haze with VHT filter and 12mm Nagler. Almost not detectable.















HGC085 CGCG 341-010 HCG DRA 14.4 18 50 18.5 +73 21 05

7mm Hicksons 85A and 85B.
















NGC 6826 PK 83+12.1 PLNNB CYG 27 s 8.8 6.9 19 44.8 +50 32

7mm obvious central star, darkened torus with some bright spots, surrounded by a bright almost round ring. H IV 73;Blinking Planetary;PK83+12.1
