Hi all,
I have only a sketch that was made from binocular (35mm diameters, 12.5-times magnified) observations from Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii from 2017:
Hello everybody!!!
It has been quite a while since I have been posting the last time... I haven't done much astronomy in the last 3 years, but now, I what to start up again. I started last autumn...
Did you know my homepage and the English written Abell project?
To make it short. I could see a glimpse of Abell 5 but no any sign of Abell 9.
To make it more detailed:
Abell 5
16", 100x, ,...
I copy my observing notes from my Abell project.
8", 47x, , NELM 6m5+
nothing visible without filter; with filter easy and direct vision glow around bright central star; north and east two other...
Hey y'all,
Just wondering, anyone ever catch Abell 5 and 9? Those two are the only two in the Abell Planetary catalogue that I have never successfully observed. However, I have not attempted...
My notes on this object are meager: I have only one observation from Texas Star Party 2014 when it was found and shown to me by young amateur astronomer Santhosh Surendra. I didn't even log whether...
I though I'd add that the first visual observation I'm aware of was made by Dana Patchick back in April 1982, just using an 8" f/6 reflector in southern California. I assume he was using a UHC or...
I can contribute a 4" observation from 2012, Hakos, Namibia (40x, 1.8° field).
I almost forgot to draw NGC 5139 on our first trip to the south. So I was in a hurry to get it done. And I managed to...
The Jewel Box was the first object I drew on my first trip to the southern hemisphere. I already decided at home that I want to draw on our first night as well. And that my target would be NGC 4755....
With a 20" and an O-III filter at 73x: "Below Spica. Easy to find but needed filter to catch glimpse of nebulosity. Had to tap the telescope to see it."
My observing notes as follows with my 22" – Featureless faint slightly oval disk (1.5:1) with a two stars embedded in the nebula. The 9.6 magnitude central star is off-center towards the west. The...
Hi, here's my observation from 4/8/2016: Abell 35 is a planetary nebula in Hydra ; mag: 13.3 ; size: 15' x 11' ; faint, very large and oblong in shape ; used an Astronomik OIII filter with my 21mm...
