Looking for # 1 (Call for Help)
Hi All,
I am putting together a observing project that I have been thinking about for several years and would like your input. Its any object that has the number 1 in it such as NGC 1, M-1, IC 1 UGC 1 etc etc. I would like to have only objects that are recognized by SIMBAD or NED and are from published catalogs. This should be a fun project most of the #1 objects are in the fall sky and are well placed now. So if you know any #1 objects please post them so I can add them to the list.
Here are a few to start with that I have come up with. It will interesting to see how many we can come up with.
1 M1
2 NGC 1
3 IC 1
4 UGC 1
5 PGC 1
6 ARP 1
7 VV 1 (VV = Vorontsov-Velyaminov Interacting Galaxies)
8 Abell PN 1 (PK 119+6.1)
10 Abell 1 (AGC 1)
11 HCG 1 (Hickson)
12 SHK 1 (SHK = Shakhbazian Compact Groups)
13 VCC 1 (VCC = Virgo Cluster Catalogue)
14 1 ZW 1 (I Zw = First Zwicky list )
15 ROSE 1 (ROSE = Rose Compact Groups of Galaxies)
16 PAL 1 (By KidOrion)
17 Terzan 1 (By KidOrion)
18 Maffei 1 (By vesna71)
19 Pease 1 (By Uwe)
20 GJJC 1 (By Uwe)
21 JaFu 1 (by Uwe)
22 Leo 1 (By lamperti)
If you can think of any post it so we can add it to the list.
THANKS
"The Soap Bubble Nebula", PN disc. by Jurasevich
I need to get Dave Jurasevich, the superintendent at Mount Wilson, to tell me the official designation of the PN that he discovered back around 2007 or so. He went through an incredibly detailed ordeal to prove that his object was not known previously and had never been catalogued. He showed me some of what he did back then during my visit in March 2009. This object is a very large, extremely low surface brightness, very spherical-looking object. I bet it would be a /great/ 'aintno' object for Barbara Wilson and friends to add to their list.
NOTE - just found this info on this object:

Explanation: Adrift in the rich star fields of the constellation Cygnus, this lovely, symmetric nebula was only recognized a few years ago and does not yet appear in some astronomical catalogs. In fact, amateur astronomer Dave Jurasevich identified it as a nebula on 2008 July 6 in his images of the complex Cygnus region that included the Crescent Nebula (NGC 6888). He subsequently notified the International Astronomical Union. Only eleven days later the same object was independently identified by Mel Helm at Sierra Remote Observatories, imaged by Keith Quattrocchi and Helm, and also submitted to the IAU as a potentially unknown nebula. The nebula, appearing on the left of the featured image, is now known as the Soap Bubble Nebula. What is the newly recognized nebula? Most probably it is a planetary nebula, a final phase in the life of a sun-like star."
