    I have an observation from September 15, 2014 from my backyard, using an 18" f/4.5 reflector at 207x, no filter used. Seeing was 6/10 and the NELM was 6.0:

    “This nebula is extremely faint and very...

    I have an observation from August 1, 1995(!) on a night of average seeing conditions and a NELM of 6.0 at Sutton, Quebec. 15-inch f/5 Dobsonian at 146x:

    “This is a fairly faint galaxy, ill-defined...

    I have an observation from August 20, 2014 with an 18-inch reflector at 295x. The accompanying sketch was not scanned, though.

    I have an observation with my 18"reflector at 295x, March 18, 2021 from my backyard observatory, naked eye limiting magnitude +5.8:

    “Two of the galaxies (MCG-01-30-32 and MCG-01-30-33) are faint...

    I have an observation from 2008 (November 1) that I made at the late, lamented New Mexico Skies with a 25-inch F/5 reflector which I believe was a Telekit. Regrettably, I don’t have a scan of the...

    Both “NGC 1258” and “NGC 1288” are southern galaxies, and there is no “NGC 12588” as the NGC ends at 7840. Could you clarify which galaxy you are discussing?

    From home, this planetary scrapes along my southern horizon, but in October 2014 I made a trip down to Marathon Tx where I observed 122 objects over three nights; 121 of them were galaxies and IC5148...

    My notes from September 14, 2013 observing from my backyard (limiting magnitude +5.8) with an 18-inch Litebox at 295x:

    “This object is small, but pretty high in surface brightness; a well defined...

    Just a note that this interesting pair is identified as “3Z52” in the first edition of Uranometria. In the second or all-sky edition, it is plotted using its MCG designation.

    WBL 258

    Here is a sketch of the WBL 258 galaxy group, usually identified as the NGC 3158 Galaxy Group. I was able to identify eleven galaxies in the field, but I may have seen the image of a twelfth,...

    Here in Canada, this object has been known and remarked upon for many years. My observing friends and I have always thought of the chain of stars as a stem and Stock 2 itself as a flower head. No one...

    I believe Arp 114 is actually NGC 2276 and NGC 2300 together, as they are under the heading: “Elliptical and Elliptical-like Galaxies close to and perturbing spirals” in Arp’s atlas.

    I had a look at IC 1365 tonight, though the seeing alternated between bad and terrible and the transparency was average as well (stars naked eye to between +5.6 and +5.8). I wasn’t able to resolve...

    Impressive totals, Timo, especially considering you probably do most of your observing from north of 55° latitude.
