Hello all,

Hello all,
the Valentin's Heart Nebula Sh2-190 has been the "strange attractor" for my eyes, and especially during the past 11 years, with the 100plus observing sessions I have spent with this...
The "M13 Arc" became visible through my 10x70 Nikon Astroluxe, and through my 15x85 BA8, five observings in total. Helpful have been the blue(RGB)CCD filters.
Also pretty spectacular is a network...
Hello Scott,
and thank you very much. Yes, the OC is Do 27, also according to the Star Guide Atlas, I am next to IDSA using.
Clear skies,
Jiri
Hello Scott,
checking it with my notes, the bent ribbon well visible through the H-beta filters, as marked with the large oval, is home of the Lynds nebulae:
LBN 39 (east of the oval), LBN 32 and...
Hello Scott,
and thank you very much for the review of the Zeta Ophiuci Nebula astrohysics, which is very interesting, and for sharing your visual observation.
Clear skies,
Jiri
Hello Scott,
good to know, that you have seen it through the 5" and 6" telescopes.
This is encouraging,
Jiri
Hello all,
so far I have not been successful with this PN through my 6" F/5 achro, but I don't easily give up.
Clear skies,
Jiri
The NGC 7538 (Sh2-158) star birth region in Perseus spiral arm is a bright and nice object even for the small aperture telescopes.
The first time seen through my 6" F/5 achro at 24x in August...
Hello Ivan,
your excellent sketch of IC 342 shows an incredible amount of details, even comparable with what can be obtained with imaging.
The galaxy belongs to the Maffei Group.
Thanks to its...
As Scott also reported above,
I have been observing these both nebulae through my 6" F/5 achromatic refractor in 2016 and 2018,...
Re: A 3D View of Orion: I. Barnard’s Loop
This is a very interesting article, offering some new insights into the astrophysics of the Barnard's Loop area.
Thank you for sharing,

Hello fiends of the supernova remnants,
and thanks to Oliva and Uwe for the sketches!
According to the deep astrohotos my impression is, that the Simeis 147 is a bundle of very thin filaments,...
Hello Victor,
I will certainly enjoy it very much.
Besides the popular Simeis nebulae as also included in the above catalogue, I have logged with my 6" F/5 achro and with the big binoculars the...
Hello Uwe,
and thank you for reminding the area of skies around the Polaris!
It is really a very nice "all seasons" area of skies.
The Polaris Flare,
and in a narrower sense the nearly...
Hello all,
over the last 20 years, I have 141 "having seen" entries on this IC 1396 (Sh2-131) nebula in my observing logbook through the binoculars 7x35 up to 25x100, and all nebular filters I...
Hello Uwe,
and thank you very much for reminding these nebulae, and thanks to you and Akarsh for the great sketches!
I have just 2 entries in my observing log book: Of August 10th, 2016, and of...
Hello all,
only 1 entry in my observing logbook, when testing the new-to-me Baader Classic Orthos:
10th August 2016: 6" F/5 achro, BCO 10mm and 6mm, Astrodon OIII 5nm filter blinked against...
Hi Howard,
now I can see it better in your sketch.
Thank you,
Jiri
Hello Howard,
this is an excellent, and very interesting, sketch!
For me also interesting because of the Gaze-Shajn nebula I have not been aware, as I have started recovering some of the...
Hello Mark,
Auriga, and its close neighbourhood around, is a fascinating area of skies for the autumn/winter season.
The both forgotten Gaze-Shajn nebulae are easy objects for the binoculars...
Hello all,
here is the next batch of the H-Beta nebulae:
5069IC, LBN 332 , LBN329 NNGC 7000 southern band, also UHC, and OIII
DG 66 EN RN around 26 Aurigae
DWB 118 EN in Cygnus X in...
Hello Mark,
I will retrieve more from my observing notes, but it may take 1 week or even more.
All my observings are through the 6" F/5 achro, an/or through the 15x85 (BA8) binoculars, some very...
Hello Mark and Steve, hello all,
here are some of my H-Beta nebulae as observed through my 6" F/5 achro and through the binoculars, but still not included the LBNs and the nebulae from the HII...
Hello Mel,
this is a very interesting observation of the M81/M82 with the unaided eyes! I will try it.
On a few nights in 2020, I have noticed for the first time, that the Polaris Flare is...
