18" (9/6/10): this local group dwarf Irregular galaxy was immediately picked up at 108x (without a printed finder chart) as a large, low surface brightness hazy glow, ~4'x2.5', roughly elongated NW-SE, though the outer extent increased with averted vision and careful viewing. A mag 12.7 star is superposed to the SE of center and a few stars are on the NW end. The 1.5' region surrounding the mag 12.7 star is the brightest portion of the galaxy and the W and NW regions have a very low surface brightness and appeared irregular and patchy. Located 12' NE of mag 7.3 HD 486 and just north of a right triangle of mag 10-11 stars
Using 175x, HL 111 was clearly visible as a very small 15" knot about 50" following the mag 13 star with a much fainter star at its west edge. This knot is a giant HII region, catalogued by Hodge and Lee (1990) as HL 111, and the site of violent starburst formation. At 285x with direct vision the faint star at the west edge was equally as noticeable as HL 111, but with averted vision the HII knot was more evident. I probably picked the brightest component of this HII complex, which Hodge and Gyoon catalogued as 111c with a diameter of 11". Two mag 10.5 stars 3.5' S and 5.5' S of the galaxy (part of the right triangle mentioned above) provide a useful guide to pinpoint the location of HL 111. The HII region is directly on a line and equally spaced with these stars -- just follow the stars to the small knot.
18" (7/15/07): at 225x this Local Group member (M31 subgroup) appeared faint, fairly large, slightly elongated NW-SE, ~4.5'x3.5', low even surface brightness except fades at the edges. A mag 13 star is superimposed west of center and a fainter star follows. Located 1.4 degrees ENE of mag 2.3 Beta Cas (Caph).
18" (10/8/05): picked up fairly easily at 115x as a large, low surface brightness hazy region with a mag 13 star superimposed. Good view at 160x using the Meade 14mm Ultrawide. Appeared faint, large, slightly elongated, ~4'-5' diameter (though no distinct borders) with a patchy, mottled appearance, very weak concentration. Several faint stars (besides the mag 13 star) are superimposed. Situated within a rich star field and appears similar to a low surface brightness emission or reflection nebula.

17.5" (12/16/95): this is an unusual object consisting of a scattered group of stars with associated nebulosity and near a large dark cloud virtually void of stars. The cluster consists of 15 stars of varying magnitudes in a 6' group located 5'-10' south of Omicron = 38 Persei (V = 3.8). The brightest star in the group is mag 8.4 SAO 56680 and it's clearly encased in a fairly bright reflection nebula, ~3' diameter, which involves two nearby companions. The star at the SW end of the cluster is a nice close evenly matched double (?437 = 9.8/10 at 11"). The immediate 50' low power field to the south is strangely devoid of almost all stars! (LDN 1470 = Barnard 3 and 4). Omicron also has a halo but this appears to be scattered light.

Both galaxies are faint, very small, slightly elongated, ~25"x15", with small brighter cores. IC 412 is elongated SSW-NNE and 30" SW of the mag 12 star - with the NE end just west of the star. Located 6' SSW of mag 7.6 SAO 112679 and 14' WSW of the (32") mag 5/7 double 23 Orionis. A third galaxy, IC 414, is in the field 8.5' south forming the poor galaxy cluster WBL 114.
Discovered by Barnard in 1888 as the first of a close pair with IC 413 with the 12-inch telescope of Lick Observatory. Observed and measured by Burnham (Publ of LIck Observatory, II) who discovered nearby IC 414. Apparently by accident, Dreyer relisted this pair at nearly the same position as IC 2123 and IC 2124. See ICBUGS.
Les Dalrymple: These (IC 412/413) are are so small and faint they would be essentially invisible unless you knew exactly where to look. The two egs and a mag 12.5 * form a very tiny, less than 1' a side triangle with the star at the N point of the tri. Both are similarly sized, 15" diameter spots of haze that grow to centre where there is a substellar spot in the centre of each. Each is almost identical to the other.

Excellent contrast gain using an H-beta filter with the central star nearly lost with the high surface brightness disc. There appears to be a very faint, thin envelope surrounding the main 10" disc extending a few arc seconds. At 285x, the planetary is slightly oval NNW-SSE with subtle variations in surface brightness; slightly weaker around the central star and slightly brighter along portions of the rim.

17.5" (2/22/03): at 100x, the bright 10.5 magnitude central star was centered in a 10" round halo with a definite rosy or raspberry tint at the outer edge of the halo, though the effect is fairly subtle. Using an H-beta filter, the central star is strongly dimmed but the halo is significantly enhanced, dramatically changing the view of this planetary. At 380x, no color was visible but the halo was a bit asymmetrical with a "softer" edge and possible double shell structure. The center was very slightly darker around the central star.
17.5" (12/30/99): at 82x the mag 10.5 central star was enveloped in a very small round halo which appeared to have a slight reddish tinge at its edge. This is a low-excitation PN and using a H-beta filter, the halo brightened and the central star faded, leaving a more noticeable disc. At 220x, the prominent central star was surrounded by a well-defined 10" halo which partially "blinked" on and off switching from averted to direct vision. At 280x, the small halo was possibly surrounded by an extremely faint envelope, but this could not be confirmed. 380x and 500x presented a superb view of the inner disc which appeared weakly annular.
17.5" (3/8/97): unusually bright mag 10.5 central star surrounded by a small high surface brightness halo. At 220x, this planetary has a distinct "blinking" effect; staring at central star partially washes out the halo and with averted the halo is more dominant. At 82x, an unusual rosy tinge is evident at the edge of the small halo, although the effect is fairly subdued. The seeing was not steady enough for high power viewing of the outer shell.
17.5": high surface brightness planetary which appears very bright at 481x. Contains a bright "fuzzy" central star with a bright inner portion surrounded by a second fainter shell slightly elongated N-S.

18" (2/23/06): easily visible at 73x and OIII filter. The brightest portion is a 5' elongated strip that very gently curves WNW-ESE. Faint haze extends out from this strip towards the south and west. An extremely faint extension of the strip continues to the SE and curves towards a an obtuse triangle of three stars increasing the length of the edge of the shell to over 10'.
17.5" (1/16/02): at 64x and OIII filter, the most prominent section of this supernova remnant is a gently curving band of nebulosity oriented NW-SE, ~10'x3' with a well-defined edge along the eastern (bowed-out) boundary. A larger region of low surface brightness haze, ~20' in size, spreads out to the west of the northern end. At the SE end, the band dims and seems to hook to the SW towards a small arrowhead of stars. Located ~2.5 degrees SE of M35 and following mag 3.3 Eta Gem.
17.5" (1/20/90): at 82x with OIII filter this supernova remnant appears moderately bright, large, elongated 5:2 NW-SE. Appears a bit larger and brighter at the NW end.

17.5" (4/1/95): this threshold object was barely glimpsed 1.1' NW of the interacting double system N3690. Just visible momentarily as an extremely small knot with averted vision but observation verified several times. This object is probably IC 694 although the ID is not 100% certain.
Discovered by Hunter at Birr Castle on 12 Feb 1860 Rosse and described as an "appendage about one object (i.e. NGC 3690) diameter northwest but not included in the GC or NGC. Independently found by Swift (X) on 18 Apr 1892 (also credited with IC 694) placed -7s, +30'' with respect to N3690. This position is close to an extremely faint and small galaxy situated 1.1' NW of the interacting double system N3690. Corwin gives a position 11 28 27 +58 34.7 (2000). Modern catalogues apply IC 694 to one component of the brighter double system.

V = 14.6; Size 0.5'x0.5'; Surf Br = 13.1
17.5" (3/8/97): HCG 59B is the fainter of two visible in HCG 59 and located 1.9' ESE of IC 737 = HCG 59A. Very faint, small, round, 20" diameter. With averted vision, the halo is closer to 30" (similar to IC 736) but the surface brightness is slightly lower.
Several catalogues (including RC3, MCG and CGCG) identify IC 736 with HCG 59A = MCG +02-30-039 = CGCG 068-070 and IC 737 with HCG 59D = MCG +02-30-040 = CGCG 068-072. When I took a look at this group, this immediately seemed odd as the brightest pair of galaxies are clearly HCG 59A and HCG 59B and I HCG 59D which the modern catalogues identify as IC 737.
The IC discovery is from Javelle using the 30 inch refractor at the Nice observatory. His micrometric measurements are generally excellent and his rounded positions precessed to 1950 are as follows:
IC 0736 11 45 45 +12 59.6
IC 0737 11 45 53 +13 00.2
Now, compare these to the Hickson's 1950 positions for 59B and 59A, respectively and they are a dead-on match:
HCG 59B 11 45 45.6 +12 59 38.7
HCG 59A 11 45 52.9 +13 00 19.0
As this pair was also the most prominent visually in my 17.5", the modern catalogues are incorrect and
IC 0736 = HCG 59B = MCG +02-30-037 = CGCG 068-068 = PGC 36853
IC 0737 = HCG 59A = MCG +02-30-039 = CGCG 068-070 = PGC 36861
Re-reducing Javelle's offsets (and ignoring proper motion of the offset star) gives for J2000
J203 11 48 19.5 +12 42 56
J204 11 48 27.6 +12 43 35
GSC positions for these galaxies are:
IC 0736 11 48 20.1 +12 42 59
IC 0737 11 48 27.5 +12 43 38
As these positions are within a few arcseconds, my revised identifications are certain.

All modern sources (except for NED) misidentify IC 897 as UGC 8544, a thin edge-on located 10' SW. Bigourdan, who discovered IC 897, unfortunately misidentified his offset star and when his offsets are applied to the star he noted, the position falls close to UGC 8544. But when the correct offset star is used, the identification of IC 897 = CGCG 102-20 is matched. This identification also agrees with his offsets for IC 897 from N5217.

Overall the surface brightness of this section is fairly high but varies quite a bit in intensity and is slightly brighter on the following side of the NE end where it contrasts with the wide dust lane that separates IC 1318e to the SE.
IC 1318e is situated roughly 35' SE of IC 1318d on the opposite side of dark nebula LDN 889. This bright section passes through several wide double stars and gently curves as it sweeps from SW to NE. The overall length is at least 35'x10' (not as wide as on photographs but nearly as long). One or two darker spots or regions lie within the nebulosity although it appears as a single continuous piece without as much structure as IC 1318d.
IC 1318b is possibly the brightest piece of the IC 1318 complex and is located ~2° NW of Gamma Cyg (Sadr. At 73x and either H-beta or UHC filter, it appeared very extended SW-NE or WSW-ENE, roughly 40'x8' and passes through a mag 8 star. This section was easily visible at 12.5x in the 80mm finder using a H-beta filter. The brightest portion is to the NE of the mag 8 star and a number of similar mag stars are involved with this portion. Removing the filter, this section was still visible though the highest contrast was using a UHC filter. To the SW of the star, this river of nebulosity takes a mild bend and flows more towards the south. Another fainter section of nebulosity (not included in the size estimate) spreads out to the NNW of the mag 8 star.
12.5x80mm (7/13/07): viewed in 80mm finder using an H-beta filter. The two roughly parallel brightest sections to the east of Gamma that form the "Butterfly Nebula" (IC 1318d and 1318e) were obvious as extremely large parallel strips oriented ~SW-NE and separated by a wide dark lane.
16x80 (8/23/84): extremely large complex of irregular emission nebulae surrounded Gamma Cygni (position given) with six sections visible at 16x using a UHC and H-beta filters. Overfills the 4° finder field! The most prominent section is an isolated patch NW of Gamma at the edge of the field (IC 1318b = Ced 176c = LBN 251 = DWB 82) and next are two parallel strips just E (IC 1318d = LBN 249) and SE of Gamma (IC 1318e = LBN 245) which have fairly sharp edges. Observation from Mt Rose (above Lake Tahoe) using the finder.

18" (8/12/07): This large section is situated roughly two degrees NW of Gamma Cyg (Sadr) and possibly the brightest region of the complex. It was easily picked up in my 80mm finder at 12.5x using a H-beta filter. Switching to my 18-inch at 73x (with a H-beta or UHC filter) it appeared very extended SW-NE or WSW-ENE, roughly 40'x8' and involved a mag 8 star. The brightest portion is to the NE of the star and a number of similar magnitude stars are involved with this portion. Removing the filter, this section was still visible though the contrast was higher using a UHC filter. To the SW of the star, this river of nebulosity takes a mild bend and flows more towards the south.

18" (8/14/07): I began this observation with a look at open cluster Cr 419 which surrounds ?2666, a bright double with mag 6/8.5 components at 2.7". This "cluster" is involved with a section of the Gamma Cygni complex (IC 1318c) and the surrounding field is very patchy with darker and brighter regions (dust and nebulosity) at 73x. At 225x, this 5'-6' group also includes ~3 dozen stars that generally appear to radiate outwards in strings from the bright double.
A darker annulus appears to nearly surround the cluster except off the east side where the field is weakly luminous unfiltered. Adding a UHC filter increases the contrast in the field and the cluster is clearly encased in a hazy glow (though the cluster stars may be contributed to this appearance) that extends to the east in a fan shape, spreading out to the SE and NE. Fainter haze also extends to the west of the cluster for a shorter distance. When I let the field drift, I realized that nebulosity extended ~30' SE from Cr 419, much further then I initially noticed.

18" (7/13/07): at 73x I took a close look at the "Butterfly Nebula" portion of the Gamma Cygni complex to the east of Gamma using both H-beta and UHC filters which both gave a good contast gain. Both sections were an amazing sight as they stretched across the entire 73' field of field and were separated by a wide dark lane (LDN 889). IC 1318d (centered ~1° E of Gamma Cyg) passes through two 7th magnitude stars (HD 194789 and HD 194908) and is very prominent near these stars. This swath of nebulosity courses mainly SW and NE from these stars. To the west of the bright stars, the nebula is bifucated into two forks by a dark lane. To the N and NE of the stars, the nebulosity spreads out wider and is interspersed with darker regions.

About 25' away is also a pretty double star whose components are aligned with the triple star.

In the 16x80 finder without a filter, the entire cluster is clearly encased in a faint glow at least two degrees in diameter though seems to be more prominent along the curving lanes of the cluster. The Daystar 300 filter gives a mild enhancement but dims the stars so the overall view is not as pleasing. Mu Cephei (Herschel's Garnet Star) is at the NE edge, ~1.5° from the center.

18" (10/13/07): easily swept up at 175x, located 4' W of mag 7.0 HD 215867. Compared views unfiltered and with UHC, OIII and NPB filters. Best seen using OIII, though NPB gave the most natural view with brighter stars. Two faint mag 14/15 stars are very near the NE edge (brighter star barely off edge) with a brighter mag 13 star 1' SE. At 225x using the NPB filter, IC 1454 appeared round, ~25-30" in diameter with an impression of an irregular surface brightness. The rim sometimes appeared slightly brighter with a weaker center giving a very subtle annularity.
18" (10/9/04): easily picked up at 73x just 4' WNW of a 7th magnitude star as a small, well-defined disc. Visible unfiltered at 160x; a couple of mag 14/15 stars are barely off the NE edge of the planetary and a 13th magnitude star lies 1' SE. Good contrast gain with OIII filter. The disc is perfectly round, ~25" diameter with a very crisp edge. The surface brightness appeared a bit irregular but could not verify annularity at this power.
17.5" (10/13/01): picked up at 100x without filter as a faint, small disc situated 4' WNW of a mag 7 star. Excellent contrast gain with an OIII filter and appears as a round, 25" crisp-edged disc. At 220x without filter a faint mag 14/15 pair is at the NE edge. Very nice view using a UHC filter at 140x-220x; the PN is slightly elongated ~E-W but no other details are visible.
17.5" (8/8/91): moderately bright, fairly small, almost round, slightly elongated E-W, 30" diameter. A faint double star mag 14/15 is at the NE edge. Located 3.8' WNW of mag 7 SAO 3785. No central star visible. Pretty planetary at 220x without filter.
13" (8/11/85): at 88x and OIII filter, fairly faint, fairly small, round. Located 4' W of a mag 7 star which detracts from viewing. At 166x with a UHC filter; easy to view, moderately large. Two very faint stars are involved near the NE edge.

18" (12/3/05): I had forgotten about the observation of this galaxy two months ago and assumed it was part of the N524 group. But with a redshift of z = .048 compared to 0.008, this galaxy lies six times further away in the heart of AGC 193 and Shk 40! At 225x it appeared faint to fairly fairly, small, irregular round, slightly brighter core. The core or a stellar knot seemed offset to one side (double galaxy). A mag 12 star is less than 1' NW. This description is quite similar to the one two months back.
18" (10/8/05): The brightest member of AGC 193 and Shakhbazian 40 appeared faint, small, irregularly round. Situated just 43" SE of a mag 13 star. In moments of better seeing this galaxy appeared double with an extremely faint knot or extension to the NE of the core of the main galaxy. The next day I checked the DSS and this observation matches the image! This distant cluster has a redshift of z = .048 which corresponds to a distance of over 700 million light years. The only other member seen was UGC 967, located 7.5' NW.

18" (10/13/07): NGC 896 and IC 1795 form a bright, detailed HII region at the NW corner of the huge IC 1805 HII ring ("Heart Nebula"). This complex is split into three or 4 distinct sections by dust lanes (LDN 1359). The largest section is IC 1795, which extends mostly north of a mag 10 star for ~8'. To the west of the mag 10 star is a dust lane oriented NW-SE and beyond this lane to the west is a small, moderatly high surface brightness patch (NGC 896) of 2' diameter. To the east of the star is another broad dust lane extending N-S and following this lane is a fainter wash of nebulosity that streams to the north for over 15' in length. It passes through mag 9 SAO 12287 and just north of this star the nebulosity has a small, brighter patch. Initially, I thought the complex ended here on the NE side, but then additional fainter nebulosity was noticed spreading out to the west for several arc minutes increasing the total size to 15'-20' for both N-S and E-W directions.

02 32.7 +61 27
V = 6.5; Size 100'x80'
18" (10/13/07): IC 1805 is a cluster (Cr 26 = Melotte 15 ) involved with a huge emission complex (LBN 654) dubbed the "Heart Nebula". The central cluster, Cr 26, was striking at 73x, consisting of a 20' scattered group of mag 8 and fainter stars (I estimated 17 stars mag 8-10.5). Embedded within the group is a smaller, fairly rich, 4'x2.5' oval ring with over three dozen stars. Most of the stars are located along the irregular ring, itself, and not in the interior. On the SW side is the brightest member, mag 8 HD 15558, which has a mag 10.5 companion at 10" separation (ADS 1920). The central clustering is richest around this HD star with 9 or 10 stars in total packed into a 1.6' region.
Adding an OIII filter, the cluster was encased in a fairly bright, irregular glow, ~12-15' in diameter and extending mostly to the east of the cluster. There appears to be dark lanes or obscuring dust involved as the surface brightness is irregular with brighter filaments within the glow. Fainter nebulosity extends to the east and then abruptly bifurcates into two branches, one heading NE and the other SE. There's a sharp border to the nebulosity at the split as the sky directly east immediately darkens, adding to the contrast.
Following the stream of nebulosity to the NE, it extends roughly 20' in that direction but then curves back sharply towards the west where it meanders for 30'-40', ending about 30' N of the cluster. Only 20' E of the bend at the NE corner is the fairly large open cluster, NGC 1027 (see notes) .
The southern river of nebulosity can be followed around in a huge loop. First it gently curves to the south or SSE for ~40' and then loops back sharply towards the west (this band forms the southern boundary of the Heart) for at least 40', heading towards a distinctive N-S string of 5 stars with a length of 6'. This group is catalogued as Markarian 6 = Stock 7. At the south end of Mrk 6 are two doubles, ?264 = 8.6/9.8 at 17" and a mag 10/11 pair at 17".
At this point, the rim bends to the north and brightens noticeably in a 10' patch. It dims and continues on further to the north, passing about 25' W of the cluster and fades out pretty close to NGC 896, a nearly isolated bright patch to the NW of the main structure.
I had now traced around the entire outline of the "Heart Nebula" visible on wide-field images, scanning over a degree and a half from north to south and perhaps 1.25° in extent from west to east. The entire outline, including the weaker interior glow, was also visible at 12.5x in my 80mm finder using an OIII filter, although without the detail visible in the main scope.
NGC 896 and IC 1795 are parts of a fairly bright, detailed region at the NW corner of this huge ring. The complex appears split into three or 4 distinct sections by dust lanes (LDN 1359). The largest section is IC 1795, which extends mostly north of a mag 10 star for ~8'. To the west of the mag 10 star is a dust lane oriented NW-SE and beyond this lane to the west is a small, moderately high surface brightness glow (NGC 896) of 2' diameter. To the east of the star is another broad dust lane extending N-S and east of this lane is a fainter wash of nebulosity that streams to the north for over 15' in length. It passes through mag 9 SAO 12287 and just north of this star the nebulosity has another small, brighter patch. Initially, I thought the complex ended here on the NE side, but additional fainter nebulosity was noticed spreading out to the west, increasing the total size to 15'-20' for both N-S and E-W directions.
Comparing my descriptions to the MegaStar outline, I noticed that the cluster Mrk 6 (perhaps it's an asterism) is not plotted, although the brighter stars are, of course. Secondly, the outline shows a large gap between the NW end of the Heart and NGC 896. Visually, it appeared the Heart Nebula extended closer to 896. Finally, I picked up additional nebulosity to the north of NGC 896 not shown on MegaStar.
17.5" (11/27/92): about 125 stars forming a bright, very large 40' field at 100x. In the center is an oval ring consisting of about 30 stars within a 4'-5' diameter including a bright 8th magnitude multiple star (Stein 368). The brighter stars in the outer region form a rough incomplete circular outline. Using 100x with an OIII filter, the associated nebulosity (LBN 654) is clearly entwined within a large portion of the cluster.

18" (10/13/07): I only took a fairly quick look at this huge HII region ("Soul Nebula" or "Baby Nebula") at the end of the evening after a long examination of IC 1705 ("Heart Nebula"). In comparison, portions of this object clearly have a higher surface brightness using an OIII filter at 73x. Near the center is an E-W elongated, scattered group of stars (Cr 32), ~10'x4' in size. On the west end are two mag 7/8.3 with a number of fainter stars huddled nearby. About 60' to the ENE is another larger, scattered group (Cr 34). Weak nebulosity is evident throughout the field without a filter.
Adding an OIII filter greatly increases the contrast and nebulosity is fairly prominent in several different sections. About 20' E of the Cr 32 is a brighter, elongated patch. To the east of this patch is a dark lane or intrusion and on the eastern side is a brighter, 10' circular glow (IC 1871) with an irregular outline. IC 1871 is located roughly 45' ENE of Cr 32. This patch is irregular in surface brightness with brighter streaks. A larger region spreads out to the east of the cluster increasing the total length to over 1.5 degrees. I also noticed brighter regions of nebulosity to the west of Cr 32, but didn't take notes on this area or try to follow the entire outline of the complex.
17.5" (10/2/99): at 100x, this large but weak grouping is dominated by a 2' pair of mag 7/8 stars which are both surrounded by several close, faint companions. The surrounding one degree field is undistinguished but it appears weakly concentrated around the bright pair. Faint nebulosity is visible in portions of the field. At 220x, the view is striking with ~12 stars huddled around the southern mag 9 star including a nice pair of mag 12 stars nearly collinear and equally spaced. The brighter mag 7 star (?306) is surrounded by 8-10 companions. The 20' field is fairly rich but scattered with a matched pair of mag 9 stars ~10' N.
Using a UHC filter at 100x, the field is immersed in a very large, faint nebulosity about a degree in length, elongated E-W. A large, bright region elongated N-S is at the E end, ~35 following the core, and seems detached from the main cloud. It surrounds a weak scattered group (Cr 34) which is void of stars in the center. The main body of nebulosity has a sharper border and is generally brighter to the north of the core and fades into the background on the south side. The outline is interesting on the north side with irregular extensions and bulges. A small brighter circular patch stands out at the west end about 10' W of the core.

At 220x the star is well separated and the planetary appears a bit irregular with an occasional sparkle. Increasing the magnification to 325x, the appearance is definitely asymmetric with a fainter NW quadrant and an intermittent stellaring (superimposed star, knot, or the central star) to the SE of the geometric center. At 450x, the dimmer quadrant on the NW side appears to bulge out slightly and the brighter region, centered to the SE, extends in an arc from the NE to the SW. An occasional stellar sparkle was clearly visible, though it was difficult to pinpoint the location.

Size 120'x40'
13x80mm (1/17/09): excellent view using of the Seagull Nebula using the 80mm finder with a 24mm Panoptic and a NPB filter. This long sinuous river of nebulosity winds for approximately two degrees ~N-S beginning just south of open cluster N2335 and curving to the west of a 4' pair of mag 5.4/7.7 stars, midway along its length. The south end is skewed and curves towards the SE. The nebula is brighter along a central filament, particularly near the midway point and a dark notch intrudes on the west side just south. Although the 18" at 73x and UHC filter added more detail and structure only half of the entire Seagull could be viewed in one field.
13.1" (1/19/85): at 62x and UHC filter appears as a very large, very elongated strip of nebulosity. At the north end is the open cluster N2335 within Monoceros. The southern portion is difficult to trace; it crosses into Canis Major and ends at an easily visible reflection nebula = Ced 90 surrounding a mag 8 star. Also includes nebula N2327 midway along the length. This emission/reflection nebula is referred to as the Eagle or Seagull Nebula.
17.5" (2/2/02): On the NW side is a circular nebulosity (the head of the Seagull) catalogued as vdB 93 = Sh 2-292, although this is actually the object reported by Roberts and listed by Dreyer as IC 2177. In my 17.5" at 100x, it appeared as a very large, circular glow perhaps 15' in diameter of low surface brightness surrounding mag 7.1 V750 Mon = BD-10 1848 with vague hints of structure. The OIII filter gave only a very weak enhancement, but the H-beta filter noticeably improved the contrast at low power. This combination HII/reflection nebula is situated off the NW end of the huge winding IC 2177 strip which extends mostly to the south, and is a wonderfully rich region of the Milky Way with a number of clusters and star groups in the vicinity.
Off the south side is the smaller nebula Ced 90. At 64x it appeared as a faint, round, 3' haze surrounding a mag 8.5 star. Two mag 10.5 stars are collinear off the east side, 2.5' and 3.3' from the center and several mag 12 stars are involved at the south edge. The H-beta filter noticeably improves the contrast and makes the nebulosity a moderately bright, direct-vision object. With averted vision the glow increases to 4'-5' in diameter with some very faint haze extending east. The star density drops off immediately to the west, except for a few stars. Ced 90 is located at the extreme southern tip of the 2.5 degree giant emission nebula IC 2177 which extends north into Monoceros. This is one of a select group of low-excitation nebulae that can be added to the list of H-beta objects.

48" (4/15/10 - Lowrey Observatory): this remarkably thin, beautiful superthin edge-on extends 4.0'x0.25' (~15:1 axial ratio) NNW-SSE. Contains a brighter elongated central region with a slightly brighter nucleus (though no bulge). The overall surface brightness is fairly low and the galaxy gradually dims near the ends of the extensions.

Roughly midway along the northern extension is a mag 14 star. Beyond this star the galaxy gradually fades to the tip, extending to within 0.6' of a faint star off the NNW tip. On the south extension, the galaxy also fades, but after nearly dimming out there is a feeble glow at the very tip which is slightly angled or bent towards the east. Located 17' SE of the Bear-Paw galaxy.

17.5" (2/8/97): second brightest of three visible in HCG 37. Appears very faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 or 3:1 E-W (difficult to determine due to very low surface brightness arms). Only core noticed at first glance, extensions require averted vision to see well. Located 1.5' WNW of N2783. HCG 37c is 1.0' E of center.
Javelle #1081. 9hr 12m 15s +30° 12'.4
Not found: At the separations given by Javelle from his reference star, DM +30°1834, no nebular image exists, however, if his RA separation sign was - 51s instead of the +51s which he gives it would then likely be the anon. ZWG 151-026 or NGC 2783B. R3 lists this as Hickson 37B. DSFG lists as NGC 2783B. Not listed in CGCG, UGC or MCG. Listed in NGC 2000 (No Type) and MOL (NSO).
Verified that reversing Javelle's RA offset falls precisely on Hickson 37b, so this ID appears reasonable, particularly since I viewed it with my 17.5" and Javelle also viewed N2783 = Hickson 37a. GSC position 09 13 32.9 -29 59 59.

Size 70'
24" (4/10/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): very large, very bright cluster at 84x but fairly scattered. The most striking portion are two bright ~N-S strings of stars, each ~5' in length, on the SE side of the cluster. These two strings are connected on the N end by a couple of stars forming a "U" outline. Many of the other stars are also arranged in strings including streams of stars that extend to the NW on both the N and S side of the cluster. The most prominent string starts at the northern end of the western row and extends NW to a mag 9.4 star. The outline of the cluster then meanders south on the west side before heading back SE towards the two parallel strings. Although the listed diameter is 70', my description applies to the central 15' portion of the cluster. Located 30' W of mag 3.1 N Velorum. The irregular planetary, N2899, lies 51' N.

At 380x, the disc is concentrated to a quasi-stellar nucleus, but it was difficult to distinguish the central star due to the high surface brightness glow. Surrounding the central region is a much fainter, round, outer shell which increases the diameter to 15"-20". Seeing not steady enough for higher power.

From Harold Corwin's notes: IC 3834 is not, as so often supposed, NGC 4740 (which see; it is actually a reobservation by Swift of NGC 4727, the brightest galaxy in the group of four here). Nor is it NGC 4726 (which also see), as first suggested by Howe and taken up by Dreyer in a couple of IC2 notes. Bigourdan wisely threw out all the NGC numbers for his observation of this galaxy (or he was utterly confused and simply ignored them) and declared it a "nova", even though Howe had obviously seen, too.

Much fainter extensions or wings are just visible extending E-W from the main body with the western wing slightly more prominent (though this may be due to the superimposed star). The wings are more obvious when a UHC filter is used. At 293x, there are three collinear stars just off the west edge with the western extension encompassing the closest star.

18" (9/25/06): IC 5068 is the second of three very large emission nebulae roughly one degree south of the southern end of the Pelican Nebula. At 113x and an OIII filter, this object appears very large, diffuse, irregular glow, roughly 25'x20'. It is noticeably brighter in a 12' circular region about 10' north of a mag 7.3 star (HD 198690) and a group of brighter stars that are near the southeast side of the nebula.
To the northwest is a second large patch of nebulosity, generally designated IC 5068B, though if Espin's declination was off by 1.5°, this may be IC 5067. This piece is very large and elongated NW to SE, extending perhaps 40'x15'. It contains a bright circular 10' patch to the south of a mag 8 star (SAO 50061). A broad river of faint nebulosity streams away towards the northwest from this brighter region.
To the east of IC 5068 is the least conspicuous section, dubbed IC 5068C. This detached piece extends 30'x15' (elongated E-W) and overall has a low surface brightness appearing as a hazy glow. A mag 6.7 star is at the southwest end and a mag 7 star is at the eastern edge.

Size 80'x70'
18" (7/17/07): The huge Pelican Nebula overfilled the 67' field in the 31 Nagler. The UHC filter gave a higher contrast than the OIII filter. Several brighter sections were noted on the close-up chart A1 in the U2000 atlas. One of the brightest pieces is the "neck" of the Pelican located 20'-25' W of mag 4.8 57 Cygni and collinear with two mag 8/9 stars 10' and 12' due W. The glow extends 10' in length. To the SW of the mag 4.8 star is the large "beak" section that streams from NW to SE and extends roughly 20'x8', widening a bit at the SE end. The west side of the beak is defined by a dark lane that parallels the nebulosity and the large, faint body of the Pelican is west of this lane and includes 5.1-magnitude 56 Cygni (the nebulosity is very weak here). The brightest section of the body is a large, circular patch at the south end, ~12' diameter, and located 30' SE of 56 Cygni and 55' S of the "neck".
18" (9/25/06): This was the first observation of the Pelican Nebula in quite awhile and I forgot about this huge, interesting emission nebula. The view was fascinating at 113x with an OIII or UHC filter as this object overfilled the 44' field. I started exploring to the west of 4.8-magnitude 57 Cygni. The brightest section is possibly on a line with this star and a mag 7.2 star further east and corresponds with the neck portion on the Pelican. This is where the ionization front is most evident on photographs. The elongated "beak" of the Pelican also begins to the west of the bright star and streams off in a wide river of nebulosity towards the southeast and passing out of the field. A long darker lane apparently free of nebulosity isolates the "neck" from the main body of the Pelican. The irregular body spreads out to the south of the neck well beyond the southern edge of the eyepiece field and extends at least 65' from the neck terminating at the SE end with a roundish bright patch of nebulosity ~12' in diameter. The Pelican is located directly west of the North American Nebula and part of the same huge complex of nebulosity in this region (separated by the dark cloud LDN 935).
13.1" (7/5/83): the entire body of the "Pelican" is easily visible at 62x and a UHC filter. The "head and neck" section is easy to view along with the fainter "bill" and a long body extending from head. Located west of the North America Nebula in a rich field between two mag 7 stars.
8" (6/22/81): faint, surrounding scattered group of stars at 50x and UHC filter. Appears as a bright patch to the west of two bright stars (neck section).

17.5" (8/8/91): at 82x using an H-Beta filter, the Cocoon Nebula appears fairly bright, very large, about 10' diameter. Surrounds six stars including two bright mag 9-10 stars embedded near the center and at the south edge. Has an irregular round shape with a very irregular surface brightness with dark mottling and brighter regions. The nebula is quite prominent using an H-Beta filter which has an excellent contrast gain (higher than OIII). The nebulous glow is superimposed on a scattered star group and is situated at the east end of long dark lane = B168 which extends 1° WNW! There is a distinctive edge to the Milky Way on the north edge of lane.
8" (8/12/83): about 20 stars over a very faint "milky" region, fairly large, just slightly higher contrast than Milky Way background. A short arc of stars is off the west edge. A long starless dark lane extends west. Two bright stars oriented N-S are just E.

18" (8/30/08): viewed from Lake Sonoma at a very low elevation, though in a dark portion of the southern sky. Beautiful view at 115x using an OIII filter as a 2' annular ring with a relatively thick rim and 30" central hole. A mag 10.5 star is close off the SSW side (1.8' from the center).
18" (7/6/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 171x and UHC filter, this beautiful planetary appears as a large round ring, nearly 2' diameter, with a bright, thick annulus that is irregularly lit. The rim is slightly brighter and thicker along the SE side and also appeared slightly enhanced on the NW side. The central hole appears 25"-30" diameter and is dark except for a central star that was intermittently visible with averted vision at 228x unfiltered, although it is listed with a magnitude of 16.5! Good contrast enhancement with a UHC filter. A mag 10.5 is off the SSW side, 1.8' from the center.
17.5" (10/30/99): Even at -39° declination, this moderately large planetary is a beautiful annular ring at 100x with an OIII filter. Appears round, ~100" diameter, the annulus has an irregular surface brightness. The central "hole" is perhaps 25" in diameter and fairly dark. A mag 10.5 star is close off the SSW edge.
17.5" (8/20/88): perfect annular 2' ring visible at 82x using an OIII filter. A mag 10.5 star is just off the SSW edge 1.8' from the center. The ring-shape is clearly visible with direct vision.
17.5" (7/22/87): beautiful ring at 140x with an OIII filter. Appears fairly large, fairly bright with a mag 11 star off the south edge.
13.1" (8/17/85): fairly faint with OIII at 79x, fairly large. Appears clearly annular with averted vision. The central hole is possibly elongated N-S. A mag 11 star is off the S edge. Similar view on 7/20/85.

11" (8/8/04 - Haleakala Crater): at 127x appeared moderately bright, fairly large, elongated 2:1 ~E-W, ~2.5'x1.3', broad weak concentration to a slightly brighter core. An 8th magnitude star is superimposed just north of the west end of the galaxy and detracts from viewing. With averted vision the glow appears to extend slightly west of the bright star and the core is just a small brightening to the east of the star.
18" (7/6/02 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this nearby Irregular galaxy (probably just outside the Local Group) was viewed at 171x and 228x. It appeared bright, large, elongated 2:1 ~WNW-ESE, ~3'x1.5'. A mag 7.9 star (HD 209142) is perched on the NW end and detracts from viewing. It's very surprising that John Herschel missed this galaxy as it is quite large and relatively prominent. Gradually concentrated to a brighter 45" core.
This galaxy is often listed as a Local Group member though is likely outside the Local Group.

A brighter mag 10 comparison star lies 1.8' S but blinking with the filter the planetary switches apparent brightness with this star. At 435x appeared as an 7"x5" blue disc, slightly elongated SSW-NNE.

Without a filter, a brighter mag 10 star lies to the south though with the filter the planetary matches the star. At 225x a definite small disc is visible, crisp-edge, round, ~6" diameter. Seeing too soft for high power.

18" (10/16/09): moderately bright, slightly elongated NW-SE, 1.5'x1.2', irregular. Located just 1' NE of an 11th magnitude star (not in GSC). This object appears more like an emission nebula than a galaxy with a slightly brighter region that seems offset to the N side. This object is brighter than most of the NGC galaxies in the area and was surprisingly missed by John Herschel.
