    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:

    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.

    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...

    SNR G132.7+1.3 (HBH 3) in Cassiopeia

    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...

    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...

    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.

    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...

    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...

    I knew already that I heard about these designation and voila, I found an entry for NGC 1052 DF2.

    Wow, next fantastic write-up Akarsh, thanks for the very informative compilation.

    NGC 253 is often reviled from Mid-European observers because of its low position in the sky. But of course its a...

    Great write-up Scott. Thanks for clarifying the history and the brightness of the PN.

    My question was also what aperture it takes to see the PN as a nonstellar disk. Perhaps it is not possible...
