    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

    A whole bunch of small planetary and open cluster catalogues (Stock, King, Berkeley, Henize, Minkowski, etc.). Too many to list from memory, really!

    This is not a real catalog but perhaps you might be interested to Maffei 1, an elliptical galaxy in Cassiopea discovered by Italian astronomer Paolo Maffei in 1968.

    Hi Jimi,

    how about the four (three Nr. 1) PN within GC's
    - Pease 1
    - GJJC 1
    - JaFu 1

    Of course the whole PN and there own catalogs (...PuWe 1...)
    Daniel Restemeier and I started a program in the past, see part 1 and part 2 sorry, only in German language but thanks to google translator

    Another interesting program I observed last new moon was the first number from the Vardanian galaxy chain groups aka "V78b - 1" (= SHK 364). Unfortunately this group was to tough for my small 27" but could be extremely cool in your 48". I call it "Hickson 55 for adults" (sketch)

    Hi Jimi,

    nice project!
    Here's some input from my side:

    Patchick 1 - the first ever amateur PN discovery (Dana Patchick)
    CTB 1, CTA 1 ... two extraordinarily faint Supernova remnants
    Berkeley 1 ... unfortunately quite inconspicuous for a Berkeley OC; better are:
    King 1 (bright, rich), and
    Pfleiderer 1 (a perfect 48" OC! Simbad ID = NAME PWM 1)
    the dark cloud Barnard 1 (in case you wanna see a huge nothing)
    Herbig-Haro 1 (visualizing star formation in the Orion area)

    CS,
    Matthias

    Let us not forget the infamous Aintno 1 http://www.astronomy-mall.com/Advent...ace/aintno.htm ;-)

  11. #11
    I know some specialists that I'm sure have seen Aintno 52 already ... guess Uwe knows whom I'm talking about.

    I forgot to mention the SUPER - No. 1 before:
    MCG 1-1-1 (aka UGC 12589) !
    Unfortunately, PK 1+1.1 is already too low in the sky ...

    CS, Matthias

    Forgot to mention these globular clusters: Koposov-1, Arp-Madore 1 (http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1984ApJ...276..221A), Djorg, Tonantzintla-1 (aka NGC 6380). See: http://spider.seds.org/spider/MWGC/mwgc.html for complete list of Milky Way Globulars and their designations, coordinates, etc.

    Here's a few more off the top of my head...

    Galaxies and groups--

    DDO 1 (David Dunlop Dwarf Galaxies)
    KTS 1 (Karachentseva Southern Isolated Galaxy Triplets)
    AWM 1 (Albert+White+Morgan Poor Clusters)
    MKW 1 (Morgan+Kayser+White Poor Clusters)

    Planetaries (there are loads more)

    Vy 1-1
    Hu 1-1
    EGB 1
    Longmore 1
    Pu 1
    Peimbert-Batiz 1

    Misc

    vdB 1

    Maybe it would be a good idea to restrict this to catalogues with certain minimum number of objects -- otherwise we need to add single objects like Jones 1, Jones-Emberson 1, etc.

    Steve,

    That was what I first thought to only have objects from published catalogs from the journals.

    It looks like it is going to be a big list :-)

    And a tricky one: Arp GC 1 A glob I have only just noted about 2 months back

    STRIKE that! It was Arp 2 glob not 1. Clearly 'disqualified' but is there an Arp 1 Glob???

    Also Jones 1 - as I recall looked something like a boomerang.

    A recently discovered star cluster in Pegasus at

    22 10 43
    +14 56.5

    At 18.5mag, its gonna be a good challenge to say the least! Here is a paper on it http://arxiv.org/abs/1212.5952

    I've also included a screenshot of my Megastar centered on the reported coordinates.

    The cluster is in there somewhere!

    "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:

    "The Soap Bubble Nebula
    Credit & Copyright: T. Rector (U. Alaska Anchorage), H. Schweiker (WIYN), NOAO, AURA, NSF
    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."

    LATEST NEWS: On July 26, 2013 the Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS), the
    world referenece database for the identification of astronomical objects and host to the SIMBAD
    on-line database, officially designated PN G75.5+1.7 as Ju1 (Jurasevich 1).
