To make it short. I could see a glimpse of Abell 5 but no any sign of Abell 9.

I copy my observing notes from my Abell project.
8", 47x, [OIII], NELM 6m5+
nothing visible without filter; with [OIII] filter easy and direct vision glow around bright central star; north and...

NGC 5084 (ESO 576- G 033, MCG -04-32-004)
RA: 13h 20m 17s
DEC: -21° 49' 39"
Size: 9.3' x 1.7' (up to ~16' length for the outermost regions)
Mag: 10.5v
Today's OOTW brings us in the southern...
Nice gem Paul,
Frank and I were at the observatory when you visited NGC 3445.
I also found an observation and sketch with my 27". For the PGC I took a look at my notes and find: "stellarlike,...
Hi Robin,
like Jimi already said we saw the [OIII] parts like in Fig. 4, around 2'x3'. The red structure in the middle was not visible.
Important note I forgot. I also tried the PN with my 27"...
Hi Jimi,
thanks to write up the first sighting of the new discovered PN. I just had contact with one of the discoverer (Peter Riepe). He was amazed about our observation. He spoke about 25...
Hi Akarsh,
nice write up and great OOTW.
Last time I visited NGC 5139 was only a few day ago, you know from where. In Jimi's 48" we looked at the glob with around 287x and we were IN. With bad...
My last sketching approach with similar aperture was only under average seeing conditions and dark but no super transparent skies. Especially in comparison to your result Howard it looks like I catch...
Had that on my list, too.
Interestingly the galaxy looks totally different in the eyepiece than pictures shows. I roughly noted. 27", 293x, NELM 6m5+, Seeing III: spectacular and large; bright and...
My only observation was nearly 20 years ago with my former but new at the time 16-inch. Under rural skies with limited transparency but steady seeing I wrote:
NGC 4147 immediately visible as a...
Finally I had the chance to visit the faint RN. It was immediately visible as a faint nebula even in the searching eyepiece. 293x shows a round patch with the brightest part to the west.
sketch:...
I tried it with my 8" under Alpine Skies but could not see the globular.
Under rural skies with 16", I could hardly see a very faint patch of light without any granulation or other...
I can contribute my observation of 4293 with my 27-inch. I overdraw the details to show the different light distribution. The somewhat peculiar centre with its detailed structutes wwas also visible...
After the fantastic exposure of Peter M. of the Supernova Remnant SNR G132.7+1.3 (HBH 3) in Cassiopeia I tried the brighter western shells. The brightest parts have a linear expansion of around a...
Nice OC even with small binoculars. I few days ago I also catches it with naked eye. With the 8x30 I wrote:
With around 9° field nice pair with Sirius. Bright and showy cluster. Half a dozen stars...
Nice, bright but structureless pair with the 27". I wrote:
27", 419x, Seeing IV
UGC 3536 easily visible in the searching eyepiece as a direct vision round plob, UGC 3528 somewhat elongated but...
What a cool object Scott, thanks for sharing this hidden treasure.
I tried the cluster last new moon. Although the faint stars did not give an impression of a cluster, it was lot of fun to catch...
NGC 1931

Never looked at it with smaller than 12.5-inch but with this aperture all members were visible.
The 16-inch shows the quartet with all its beauty and all the different elongations.
sketch: 16",...
I've recorded a very challenging but clear sighting of the galaxy with a 8x30 binocular.
The 4-inch binocular telescope shows a direct vision galaxy with an 1:2 elongation.
With the 14.5-inch...
What a surprise to have M 78 as a first light within the OOTW section.
Nice observation and sketch Howard. After my experience the object is visible through nearly all aperture but changes its...
Nice object Jumi,
I found three entries for GR 8, starting from 16-inch.
16", 145x, NELM 6m5+
steadily visible with averted vision; round, diffuse glow with 1' diameter; exact form not...
Very nice sketches here. I never had it on my sketching agenda, who knows why.
I often call the galaxy "good mood object" because of its beauty.
In the past I failed to see it with my old 8x30...
The GC is often a transparency tester for me at 48°N.
Under the last night rural sky I could pick up some mottling with my 6" and 84x and a direct visible faint star at the northern tip. I also...
