************************************************************
IC 0131 = A29
01 33 14.6 +30 44 56
17.5": very faint, very small, round, 10" diameter. This HII region is located
10' WNW of the center of M33 near a wide pair [50"] of mag 11/12 stars. A mag
14 star is nearby and at first I thought this star was IC 131 (on the DSS this
14th magnitude "star" is a compact HII region and was also described as a star
by Bigourdan). Collinear with IC 133 8' N and IC 132 11.5' N.
************************************************************

17.5": faint, diffuse, hazy HII region of 35" diameter at the NW end of M33 15'
NW of the center. Forms a "pair" with IC 132 3.4' N. This object is larger
than IC 132 at times with averted vision but has a lower surface brightness.
************************************************************
IC 0135 = A100
01 34 15.8 +30 37 11
17.5": fairly faint, fairly small, 1' diameter. This HII region is located 6'
ESE of the center of M33 and is symmetrically placed on the opposite side of M33
from N595. IC 136 lies 3.5' S.
************************************************************
IC 0136 = A101
01 34 15.7 +30 33 43
Size 0.6
17.5": very faint, ill-defined hazy region in M33 between IC 135 3.5' N and a
mag 11.5 star 2.5' SSE (just west of the line connecting these objects).
Appears as a slightly locally brighter region of 30" diameter and not as
noticeable as the other IC HII regions - would have passed over if casually
sweeping galaxy. This star association may have a smaller HII component.
************************************************************
IC 0137 = A12
01 33 39.1 +30 31 20

southern spiral arm 10' SSW of center of M33.
************************************************************
IC 0139 = A4
01 33 59.2 +30 34 03
17.5": fairly prominent elongated HII region and star association just following
a mag 13 star 5.4' SSE of the center of M33. Extended ~N-S, perhaps 2.0'x0.5'
and consists of two brighter knots at both ends (the size appears too large).
************************************************************
IC 0140 = A5
01 33 58.1 +30 33 02
17.5": located SSW of IC 139 in M33 and visible as an easy knot, ~1' in diameter
with ill-defined edges. There is a second knot close west which is slightly
fainter.
************************************************************
IC 0142 = A67
01 33 55.6 +30 45 26
Size 0.5
17.5": fairly faint, very small, round. Stands out nicely 6' N of the center of
M33. Either contains a stellar spot near the center or a faint star is
superimposed. First of three in the spiral arm containing IC 142, IC 143 and
ending with NGC 604.
************************************************************
IC 0143 = A75
01 34 11.2 +30 46 38
17.5": Association 71 is a very faint HII region in M33 located 8' NNE of the
center and 5' W of N604. Appears very faint, small, round, 20" diameter. There
is a mag 13.5 star 2' SE and close WNW of this star is also a faint, hazy patch
of nebulosity which is IC 143. It's odd that that IC 143 = A75 appeared fainter
to me than A71. Second of three HII regions along with IC 142 3.5' SW and N604
5' E in the spiral arm attached at the west side of M33 and winding towards the
NE

01 52 22 +61 51.3
V = 11.7; Size 5
17.5": position identified at 100x using a GSC chart, although only a couple of
stars are plotted. Appears as a very faint circular glow with a couple of faint
stars superimposed. Located 7' E of a wide pair of mag 9/11 stars [at 38"
separation]. Does not resemble a cluster in appearance and would have otherwise
thought this was a milky way patch. At 220x, the glow is ~4' in diameter and
there are a sprinkling of ~10 very faint stars, mostly mag 14.5-15.5 with one
mag 13 star. The glow has an irregular surface brightness with a mottled
appearance and the periphery is not well defined.

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. With a 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. See not good enough
for high power viewing of 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.

17.5": 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 1 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 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.
