| Name | C | RA | Dec | T | L | Date | Observation |
| R Lep | V | 4h 59m 36.34s | -14° 48' 16.34" | C-8 | B | 2005-12-30 20:00:00 | A very red star of 8.5 mv. Always a stunner |
| STF 2264 | D | 18h 1m 30.41s | 21° 35' 44.8" | C-8 | B | 2006-05-24 04:00:00 | AKA 95 Her. One of the best in the sky. Two yellow stars, delicately tinted red and green. A splendid sight. WDS data: 4.85 - 5.20mv, A5IIIn, 257° pa, 6.3", 2010. |
| khi Cyg | V | 19h 50m 33.94s | 32° 54' 49.48" | C-8 | B | 2006-06-03 03:00:00 | A yellow orange star. I didn't record the magnitude. |
| STF 2758AB | D | 21h 6m 53.94s | 38° 44' 57.89" | C-8 | B | 2006-06-03 03:00:00 | AKA 61 Cyg. A wide pair of yellow orange stars. Fairly pretty. WDS data: 5.20 - 6.05mv, K5VK7V, 152° pa, 31.4", 2010. |
| NGC 7009 | N | 21h 4m 12s | -11° 22' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-07-24 03:00:00 | The celebrated "Saturn" nebula has never looked to me like saturn. It looks like a bright, blueish ellipse, with perhaps a hint of mottling. Perhaps darker skies and higher power will show more. |
| mu. Cep | V | 21h 43m 30.49s | 58° 46' 48" | C-8 | B | 2006-07-24 03:00:00 | Hershel's "Garnet" star is indeed orange. Perhaps its redness has something to do with interstellar absorbtion, as it is only an M2. An interesting star but visually, it doesn't live up to it's billing. |
| NGC 7662 | N | 23h 25m 54s | 42° 33' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-07-24 03:00:00 | One of the highest surface brightness planetaries in the sky, and easily found, even in this degree of light pollution. A blue disc, much like Uranus, although larger and fainter. |
| LAL 123 | D | 15h 33m 9.52s | -24° 29' 25" | C-8 | P | 2006-08-01 11:15:00 | A nice pair. WDS data: 7.02 - 7.00mv, A3+F0V:, 301° pa, 9.0", 2007. |

| STF 180AC | D | 1h 53m 31.76s | 19° 17' 38.59" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | AKA Gamma Aries. A lovely double star! Burnham places their separation at 7.8", the WDS gives it as 10.2, and I saw them as approximately 5". B9 and A0. WDS data: 4.52 - 8.63mv, U, 81° pa, 216.8", 2008. |
| STF 205A BC | D | 2h 3m 53.91s | 42° 19' 47" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | AKA Gamma And, Almach. A K3 and an A0, which appear gold and pastel blue. One of the finest in the sky, and always a delight to look at. WDS data: 2.31 - 5.02mv, K3IIb, 63° pa, 9.5", 2011. |
| STF 2738AB | D | 20h 58m 32.22s | 16° 26' 12.2" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | A "swept up " double. A pair of 7.5-8.5 Mv stars separated by 15 ". WDS gives the same values! WDS data: 7.51 - 8.57mv, F5VA0, 254° pa, 14.8", 2009. |
| BRT 2502 | D | 22h 2m 41.88s | 22° 15' 24.9" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | A "swept up" double. A pair of 10 Mv stars, seen as approximately 10" apart. WDS gives them 4.5". WDS data: 11.69 - 12.39mv, U, 233° pa, 16.4", 2007. |
| ES 1502AC | D | 2h 24m 4.38s | 41° 36' 10.89" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | A "swept up" double. A faint, wide pair of 10-11 Mv stars. I recorded the position angle as approximately 40, WDS gives it as 25. I saw the separation as 8", WDS as 6.7". WDS data: 10.90 - 11.19mv, U, 25° pa, 15.2", 1998. |
| STF 2670 | D | 20h 22m 13.33s | 16° 22' 22" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | A "swept up" double. A faint, wide pair of 9 Mv stars. WDS data: 9.19 - 10.60mv, A5, 77° pa, 15.6", 2010. |
| STF 2804AB | D | 21h 32m 58.3s | 20° 42' 44.5" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | One exquisite little double. They appear brighter than their listed 7.7,8.0 Mv in the WDS. At 3" the pair is barely elongated at low (50x)power, but they separate quite nicely at 231x. WDS data: 7.70 - 8.04mv, F5V, 357° pa, 3.3", 2010. |
| NGC 7331 | N | 22h 37m 6s | 34° 25' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | This galaxy is bright enough to punch through the light pollution above my backyard. It was elongated in position angle 0 degrees, and slightly brighter along its western edge. |
| STF 100AB | D | 1h 13m 43.8s | 7° 34' 31.79" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | A nice yellow-white, yellow pair. WDS gives them as A7 and F7. WDS data: 5.22 - 6.26mv, A7IVF7V, 62° pa, 23.7", 2011. |
| STF 202AB | D | 2h 2m 2.8s | 2° 45' 49.4" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | AKA Alpha Psc. I saw this pair as being separated by 2" and in position angle approximately 270 degrees. Burnham gives it as 1.9" and position angle 292. A close double. WDS data: 4.10 - 5.17mv, A0pA3m, 267° pa, 1.8", 2010. |
| STF 227 | D | 2h 12m 22.28s | 30° 18' 11.1" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | A pastel yellow and blue pair. Nice WDS data: 5.26 - 6.67mv, G0III, 69° pa, 3.8", 2010. |
| STF 232 | D | 2h 14m 42.15s | 30° 23' 41.2" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | Two exquisite stars, A0, white. position angle approximately 240 degrees. WDS data: 7.82 - 7.90mv, A0V, 67° pa, 6.5", 2007. |
| STF 326AB | D | 2h 55m 39.06s | 26° 52' 23.59" | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | A K2 and a dM1, Burnham gives the brightnesses as 7.5 and 9.5, but the 9.5 Mv looked fainter. This is confirmed by the WDS which give it as 10.0 Mv. The WDS also lists the primary as a G5. WDS data: 7.68 - 10.02mv, G5, 221° pa, 4.7", 2010. |
| NGC 6791 | N | 19h 20m 42s | 37° 51' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-02 20:30:00 | A faint, but rich, open cluster. |
| NGC 6891 | N | 20h 15m 12s | 12° 42' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-02 20:30:00 | Suprisingly faint for a small planetary (15"x7"). |
| V0444 Cyg | V | 20h 19m 32.38s | 38° 43' 50.6" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-02 20:30:00 | A WN eclipsing binary. Need to make a finder chart. Interesting star. |
| NGC 55 | N | 0h 14m 54s | -39° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | A large, uniformly bright streak. Impressive. |
| STT 5 | D | 0h 18m 42.15s | 43° 47' 28.09" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | AKA 30 Ari. A nice double A:6 Mv, Burnham: 7 Mv. WDS data: 6.0 - 9.7mv, B8V, 240° pa, 6.4", 2002. |
| NGC 221 | N | 0h 42m 42s | 40° 52' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | AKA M32. A low contrast ellipse near M 31. M 110 was to faint to be seen. |
| STF 174 | D | 1h 50m 8.6s | 22° 16' 29.49" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | A white-orange pair. Very nice. WDS data: 6.33 - 7.21mv, G3III, 165° pa, 2.8", 2010. |
| NGC 6838 | N | 19h 53m 48s | 18° 47' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | 15-20 stars were seen with averted vision, emeshed in the granulated haze of the rest of the cluster. |
| NGC 6853 | N | 19h 59m 36s | 22° 43' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | The "dumb-bell" shape was seen this evening. Very nice object. |
| NGC 6934 | N | 20h 34m 12s | 7° 24' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | Rather faint, I could barely granulate the cluster. |
| STFA 56 | D | 21h 37m 43.64s | 6° 37' 6" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | AKA 3 Peg. An exquisite pair. WDS data: 6.18 - 7.50mv, A2V, 348° pa, 39.1", 2010. |
| R Cas | V | 23h 58m 23.94s | 51° 23' 18.04" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | Perhaps seen as a 7 mv orange red star. |
| NGC 246 | N | 0h 47m 0s | -11° 53' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Perhaps seen. Extremely low contrast, if so. |
| NGC 628 | N | 1h 36m 42s | 15° 47' 0" | C-8 | Backyard | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Found with a detailed finder chart. Only the nucleus was visible, the envelope was washed out by the bright sky. |
| omi Cet | V | 2h 19m 20.63s | -2° 58' 24.13" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Mira. A yellow orange star of approximately 7 mv. |
| omi Cet | V | 2h 19m 20.63s | -2° 58' 24.13" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Mira. A yellow orange star of approximately 7 mv. |
| NGC 1068 | N | 2h 42m 42s | -0° 1' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Looks like a fuzzy star. Much easier than M 74, but the outer envelope was quite invisible. The LPR filter was of no help. |
| STF 299AB | D | 2h 43m 18.04s | 3° 14' 8.89" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A close pair, approximately 1.5 inch apart, position angle approximately 45 degrees. Burnham gives position angle as 295, WDS as 283. WDS data: 3.54 - 6.18mv, A1V, 283° pa, 2.8", 2006. |
| STF 307AB | D | 2h 50m 41.81s | 55° 53' 43.79" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A lovely orange and blue pair. WDS data: 3.76 - 8.50mv, M3Ib-IIa, 295° pa, 31.2", 2008. |
| STF 494 | D | 4h 8m 53.5s | 23° 5' 55.1" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | An exquisitely matched pair, one slightly redder than the other. WDS data: 7.53 - 7.65mv, A8IVA8IV, 188° pa, 5.3", 2008. |
| R Lep | V | 4h 59m 36.34s | -14° 48' 16.34" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Red orange, approximately 7 mv. |
| DV Tau | V | 5h 31m 6.3s | 18° 33' 44.72" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A yellow orange M6 star. The brighter CE Tau is in the same field. |
| CE Tau | V | 5h 32m 12.76s | 18° 35' 45.93" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A yellow orange M2 star. The fainter DV Tau is in the same field. |
| STF 738AC | D | 5h 35m 8.28s | 9° 56' 3" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | AKA Lambda Ori. A: dazzlingly white, with a bit of pastel blue. Burnham: bright white. A very nice double. WDS data: 3.51 - 10.72mv, 08, 185° pa, 28.7", 2008. |
| NGC 224 | N | 0h 42m 42s | 41° 16' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Only the nucleus of this huge spiral is visible, as a large, low contrast elliptical glow, brighter in the middle. |
| NGC 650 | N | 1h 42m 18s | 51° 34' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A very low contrast object in these light polluted skies. One can see the "peanut" shape that gives it it's popular name. The LPR filter helped with this one, as did the early hour and clear skies. |
| W Ori | V | 5h 5m 23.69s | 1° 10' 44.49" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | The star appears to be more red than R Lep! Approximately 7-8 mv. |
| STF 668A BC | D | 5h 14m 32.27s | -8° 12' 5" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Rigel, Beta Ori. Nice double. The companion is just outside of Rigel's brilliant glare. It looks as if it shines by reflected light, and seems almost grey, although it is a B9 star. A bright companion can strongly influence one's perceptions of the secondary. WDS data: 0.3 - 6.8mv, B8Iae:, 204° pa, 9.3", 2009. |
| NGC 2068 | N | 5h 46m 42s | 0° 3' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A low contrast bit of nebulosity involving 2 stars, about 40" apart, position angle approximately 20 degrees. It was not helped by the LPR filter. Burnham gives the distance as 53", and give the position angle as 18 degrees. |
| NGC 2068 | N | 5h 46m 42s | 0° 3' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Very faint, if seen at all. |
| NGC 2158 | N | 6h 7m 30s | 24° 6' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A very faint brightening of the sky near M 35. Only seen when the telescope was slewing. |
| NGC 2168 | N | 6h 8m 54s | 24° 20' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A field filling cluster of bright stars. Approximately 1 degrees in size. |
| STF 895 | D | 6h 20m 48.34s | 5° 44' 26.2" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Perhaps the wide separation caused me to miss this faint (8.3, 9.6 Mv) pair? It is not in Burnham, but Webb raves about it, quoting John Herschel as claiming the pair is full ruby red and green. WDS data: 8.26 - 9.62mv, M3Ib-II, 59° pa, 29.1", 2003. |
| STF 919AB | D | 6h 28m 49.07s | -7° 1' 59" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A beautiful triple of stars. Needs high power. WDS data: 4.62 - 5.00mv, B3VeB3ne, 127° pa, 6.6", 2009. |
| TX Psc | V | 23h 46m 23.57s | 3° 29' 13.71" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A bright yellow orange star, approximately 5-6 mv. |
| STF 470AC | D | 3h 54m 17.48s | -2° 57' 17" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A very nice pair, position angle approximately 350 degrees. WDS data: 4.80 - 10.50mv, U, 5° pa, 165.9", 2003. |
| NGC 1514 | N | 4h 9m 12s | 30° 47' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | This faint planetary is washed out to the point of invisibility in these light polluted skies. |
| STF 518A BC | D | 4h 15m 17.57s | -7° 38' 41" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | AKA Omicron or 40 Eri. A: Yellow, Burnham: faint white. I did not split the secondary, but I also did not try. It was enough for this time simply to see the white dwarf! I saw that A-B position angle as approximately 90 degrees. WDS data: 4.51 - 9.7mv, G9V+DA, 104° pa, 83.8", 2008. |
| STF 698AB | D | 5h 25m 12.94s | 34° 51' 18.59" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A swept up double. A: 7 Mv, Burnham: 8 Mv, Separation: approximately 15 arc seconds, position angle approximately 15 degrees. (Burnham gives the separation as 31.2" , WDS as 31.1. So much for guessing at the eyepiece. I tend to see things closer than they are). WDS data: 6.65 - 8.33mv, K2III, 350° pa, 31.2", 2007. |
| S Aur | V | 5h 27m 7.42s | 34° 9' 7.57" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A yellow star? Perhaps this star was not visible? |
| NGC 1912 | N | 5h 28m 42s | 35° 50' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A very nice cluster, approximately 40 arc minutes in size. |
| STF 752AB | D | 5h 35m 25.97s | -5° 54' 35.59" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A:4 Mv,B:7 Mv. position angle is 135, separation is 20 arc seconds. All estimates here are just that, estimates! WDS data: 2.9 - 9.7mv, U, 103� pa, 49.4", 2002. |
| STF 774AB | D | 5h 40m 45.52s | -1° 56' 33.3" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | AKA Zeta Ori, Alnitak. The southwestern star of the belt. Even with fairly decent seeing (Pickering 7), the pair is difficult. The secondary sits in the third or forth diffraction ring of the primary. WDS data: 1.88 - 3.7mv, O9.7Ibe, 167.1° pa, 2.36", 2013. |
| H 6 40 | D | 5h 44m 27.79s | -22° 26' 54" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | AKA Gamma Lep. A lovely, wide pair, position angle approximately 15 degrees. WDS data: 3.64 - 6.28mv, F6VK2V, 348° pa, 95.6", 2008. |
| NGC 2392 | N | 7h 29m 12s | 20° 55' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A medium sized, bright planetary nebula. I was able to make it "blink". Very nice! |
| STF 919AB | D | 6h 28m 49.07s | -7° 1' 59" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-06 03:00:00 | A lovely triple. Looks double at 50x, indeed, hard to resolve at that power, plainly triple at 133X WDS data: 4.62 - 5.00mv, B3VeB3ne, 127° pa, 6.6", 2009. |
| NGC 2264 | N | 6h 41m 6s | 9° 53' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-06 03:00:00 | A lovely group of sparklers. The Xmas tree cluster, and looks it. |
| STT 191 | D | 8h 24m 49.17s | 20° 9' 10.79" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | A wide double with delicate yellow-blue colors. WDS data: 7.41 - 8.62mv, A5, 192° pa, 38.1", 2011. |
| STFA 39 | D | 18h 50m 4.79s | 33° 21' 45" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | AKA Beta Lyra. Both stars appear brilliantly white against the twilight glow in which they were observed, at 19:15. This is, of course, the famous eclipsing binary, the enigma of Lyra. WDS data: 3.63 - 6.69mv, B7Ve+A8p, 148° pa, 45.4", 2009. |
| NGC 6779 | N | 19h 16m 36s | 30° 11' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | Nebulous at 50x, a few stars are resolved at 133x. |
| NGC 6826 | N | 19h 44m 48s | 50° 31' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | A small, bright planetary. "Blinks" nicely at 133x. It appears grey, I could not see any green or blue color. |
| H 5 137 | D | 19h 45m 51.35s | 35° 0' 45" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | AKA STTA 191. A wide double with delicate yellow-blue colors. WDS data: 6.22 - 8.18mv, G9III, 24° pa, 40.7", 2010. |
| NGC 6853 | N | 19h 59m 36s | 22° 43' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | The "dumb-bell" structure was observed in the 30mm with the LPR filter. Unfiltered, M 27 is a very low contrast object in the light pollution, a far cry from the detail it shows in dark skies. |
| STF 2727AB | D | 20h 46m 39.49s | 16° 7' 27.4" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | Gamma Del. One of the nicest doubles in the sky. Primary is a deep yellow, secondary a pale yellow. WDS data: 4.36 - 5.03mv, K1IVF7V, 266° pa, 9.0", 2010. |
| T Lyr | V | 18h 32m 20.1s | 36° 59' 52.42" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | A very red star, as red as R Lep. Approximately 9 mv. |
| ES 2028AB | D | 18h 54m 30.28s | 36° 53' 55" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | Delta Lyrae. A pastel blue and orange pair in a beautiful field. This is not a double listed by the WDS. The secondary of ES 2028AB is an 11.2mv star much closer to the 4.3mv orange star. The proper motions of these two bright stars, A: -7.4, 4.1; Burnham: 0.8, -3.1, show that they are not in common proper montion. WDS data: 4.30 - 11.2mv, M4II, 351° pa, 86.6", 2009. |
| U Cyg | V | 20h 19m 36.35s | 47° 53' 37.84" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | A faint, red N star of approximately 11 Mv, if the nearby companion is 10 Mv. |
| V Cyg | V | 20h 41m 18.2s | 48° 8' 28.15" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | Record setting red! approximately 9.0mv. |
| STF 2789AB | D | 21h 19m 58.83s | 52° 58' 44.1" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | An exquisite double. A pair of 7 Mv stars, at 7 arc second distance. I saw the position angle as approximately 310 degrees. WDS data: 7.71 - 7.87mv, F8V, 114° pa, 6.4", 2008. |
| RV Cyg | V | 21h 43m 16.24s | 38° 1' 0.95" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | A "dusky" red star, not as intense a red as V Cyg. Only the palest orange in this smoky red star. In a lovely field. |
| NGC 598 | N | 1h 33m 54s | 30° 39' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | A face on Sc. An obvious large smudge in triangulum. Glimpsed with averted vision, naked eye. 7 x 50 Fujinons |
| NGC 628 | N | 1h 36m 42s | 15° 47' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | A face on Sc. Easily seen, as opposed to trying to located it in the glowing skies in my backyard. |
| NGC 6514 | N | 18h 2m 18s | -23° 2' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | Just north of M8, the nebulosity is more uniform that M8's, and fainter. The "Trifid" nature is not so apparent, as it's difficult to see the dark lanes cutting the nebula into 3 parts. It looks more like a cloud crossed by some slightly darker lines. There is a concentration of stars about the nebula, but the entire field looks like a cluster, which, in a way it is: the Sagittarius arm cluster! |
| NGC 6523 | N | 18h 3m 48s | -24° 23' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | One of the glories of Sagittarius, a constellation that harbors may of them. Bright nebulosity illuminated by glittering stars. Always a beautiful, moving sight. Visible to the naked eye. |
| NGC 6656 | N | 18h 36m 24s | -23° 54' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | The brightest of the Sagittarius globulars. Its brilliance is a bit overshadowed by the brightness of the milky way that forms a background to the cluster. The cluster is easily resolved with direct vision, and seemingly hundreds of stars are in plain view. Averted vision shows a luminous mass of stars, looking like a pile of spilled sugar. |
| NGC 6705 | N | 18h 51m 6s | -6° 16' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | AKA M 11. A large, rich cluster. Perhaps 100 stars are visible with direct vision, and hundreds more appear with averted vision. A wonderful sight. |
| NGC 7006 | N | 21h 1m 30s | 16° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | An extremely distant cluster. Faint, but easily seen in these dark skies. Granulated, and almost resolved. It's always nice to use Gamma Del as a setting circle check when locating NGC 7006. |
| NGC 7089 | N | 21h 33m 30s | -0° 49' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | A superb globular. It stands alone in a sparsly populated region of the sky, and is extremely condensed. It was well resolved in the Celestron, but I found myself wishing for a telescope ten times its aperture, and dark skies to go with it. |
| NGC 7293 | N | 22h 29m 36s | -20° 48' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | The largest of the planetaries was faint. It's central hole was fainter still, but not as faint as the surrounding sky. A large, low contrast object. |
| NGC 7492 | N | 23h 8m 24s | -15° 37' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | This was just a extremely subtle brightening of the sky. It was not granulated. It was more easily seen when the telescope was slewing. That I saw it at all with a 20cm was amazing. A very challenging object. |
| VX And | V | 0h 19m 54.09s | 44° 42' 35" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A pastel red star. Approximately 8-8.5 Mv. |
| V Aql | V | 19h 4m 24.23s | -5° 41' 11.29" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | Red, but more pastel than V Cyg. Lovely. |
| NGC 6751 | N | 19h 5m 54s | -6° 0' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A very faint planetary in the light pollution near downtown DC. Barely visible in the 24.5, 80X eyepiece. It was a bit better using the LPR filter on the 30mm. |
| STF 2474AB | D | 19h 9m 4.35s | 34° 35' 59.9" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | It'sa better sight in a C8 telescope that Epsilon. The fainter star in each pair is slightly redder than it's white primary. A delight! WDS data: 6.78 - 7.88mv, G1V, 263° pa, 15.5", 2010. |
| U Cyg | V | 20h 19m 36.35s | 47° 53' 37.84" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | Fainter than V Cyg, and a more pastel, brownish red. Approximately 9.5mv. |
| V Cyg | V | 20h 41m 18.2s | 48° 8' 28.15" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A very red star! Quite a standout amongst the star fields of Cygnus. Approximately 8.5mv. |
| V Aqr | V | 20h 46m 49.45s | 2° 26' 10.47" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | Red, but more pastel than V Cyg. Lovely. |
| NGC 7027 | N | 21h 7m 6s | 42° 14' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A bright, pale blue planetary. Approximately 8"x5". Holds high power well (500x). The central star was not visible. |
| NGC 7078 | N | 21h 30m 0s | 12° 10' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A field of sparklers at 500x. Even the core is partially resolved. Lovely! |
| RX Peg | V | 21h 56m 22.19s | 22° 51' 38.63" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A pastel dusky red star approximately 9 mv. |

| STF 590 | D | 4h 43m 35.16s | -8° 47' 46.39" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | AKA 55 Eri. A: pastel red, Burnham: a very pastel blue green. Nice double. WDS data: 6.74 - 6.78mv, G5III, 318° pa, 9.2", 2011. |
| R Lep | V | 4h 59m 36.34s | -14° 48' 16.34" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | Red, as always. About 9 mv |
| W Ori | V | 5h 5m 23.69s | 1° 10' 44.49" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | A red orange N star of approximately 7 mv. |
| NGC 1904 | N | 5h 24m 30s | -24° 33' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | The seeing this morning was horrible, the cluster was not even granulated. |
| NGC 1952 | N | 5h 34m 30s | 22° 1' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | The celebrated crab nebula is but a dim smudge from my backyard. |
| NGC 2099 | N | 5h 52m 24s | 32° 33' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | The richest, but faintest of the Auriga Messier clusters. Overall, a beautiful cluster that would be better served by darker skies. |
| STF 774AB | D | 5h 40m 45.52s | -1° 56' 33.3" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-31 03:30:00 | Due the the brightness of the primary, the 5.5 Mv secondary is hard to see, even at a separation of 2.3 arc seconds. The seeing this morning was very poor. It might be easier on a better night. WDS data: 1.88 - 3.7mv, O9.7Ibe, 167.1° pa, 2.36", 2013. |
| BL Ori | V | 6h 25m 28.14s | 14° 43' 25.26" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-31 03:30:00 | A red orange star of about 6.0mv. |

| V0431 Ori | V | 5h 15m 56.53s | 11° 58' 5.44" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-31 03:40:00 | A pastel red star whose color seemed to diminish at higher powers. |
| Y Tau | V | 5h 45m 39.37s | 20° 41' 48.68" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-31 03:40:00 | A red orange star of 7 mv. |
| STF 589AB | D | 4h 44m 48.22s | 5° 17' 22.3" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | An unimpressive pair of 8 Mv yellow stars. WDS data: 8.78 - 8.92mv, G5, 279° pa, 4.4", 2006. |
| UV Aur | V | 5h 21m 48.84s | 32° 30' 51.25" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | A pastel red-orange star of approximately 9 mv. |
| STF 696 | D | 5h 22m 50s | 3° 32' 40" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | AKA 23 Ori. Nice. The primary shows a faintly pastel green tint about it. WDS data: 4.95 - 6.76mv, B1V, 30° pa, 31.5", 2009. |
| NGC 1904 | N | 5h 24m 30s | -24° 33' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | Barely granulated, if at all. The stars in this cluster are 14 Mv or fainter. |
| STF 747AB | D | 5h 35m 2.68s | -6° 0' 7.2" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | A wide double, southwest of Iota Ori. WDS data: 4.70 - 5.51mv, B0.5VB1V, 224° pa, 36.0", 2010. |
| STF 752AB | D | 5h 35m 25.97s | -5° 54' 35.59" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | The 2.8 Mv O9 primary is a brilliant blue white, the secondary a meer B9 6.7 Mv star looks almost grey, as though shining by light reflected from the primary. A spectacular double, whose glory is dwarfed by the nearby Orion Nebula, M 42. WDS data: 2.9 - 9.7mv, U, 103� pa, 49.4", 2002. |
| CR Gem | V | 6h 34m 23.85s | 16° 4' 36.61" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | A very red star, considering its faintness. About 10 mv. As with many red stars, this one looks dusky. |
| VW Gem | V | 6h 42m 8.69s | 31° 27' 24.66" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | A dark red orange star, almost brown. About 9.0mv. Cool star, in more ways than one! |

| V Cyg | V | 20h 41m 18.2s | 48° 8' 28.15" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-09 19:00:00 | A very red star. Impressive. |
| NGC 7078 | N | 21h 30m 0s | 12° 10' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-09 19:00:00 | At 500x, this cluster is amazing. Approximately 100-300 stars are resolved, with beautiful chains of stars seeming to come from the center of the cluster. At 50x, the stars were so compressed that it was difficult to see any resolution. |
| TX Psc | V | 23h 46m 23.57s | 3° 29' 13.71" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-09 19:00:00 | A bright red orange star, of around 6 mv. |

| VX And | V | 0h 19m 54.09s | 44° 42' 35" | C-8 | B | 2006-12-08 19:30:00 | A brown-red star. Kathie saw it as red. |
| AQ And | V | 0h 27m 31.79s | 35° 35' 15" | C-8 | B | 2006-12-08 19:30:00 | A pale red-orange-brown star. About 7.5mv |
| NGC 253 | N | 0h 47m 36s | -25° 17' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-12-10 20:00:00 | A very faint smudge in the 36x eyepiece, drowned in the light pollution. |

| AC 15AC | D | 18h 7m 1.61s | 30° 33' 42.69" | C-8 | B | 2007-05-25 23:00:00 | AKA 99 Her. This is a very difficult double. The companion is a slight brightening of the first diffraction ring of the primary. WDS data: 5.13 - 10.7mv, F7V, 165° pa, 162.5", 1998. |
| SS Vir | V | 12h 25m 13.61s | 0° 46' 10.69" | C-8 | Backyard | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A very nice red orange N star. Approximately 7.5mv. |
| STF 1645 | D | 12h 28m 4.45s | 44° 47' 39.49" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A very nice double! WDS data: 7.49 - 8.08mv, F9V, 157° pa, 9.7", 2008. |
| NGC 4449 | N | 12h 28m 12s | 44° 6' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A faint brightening of the sky glow. I was suprised I saw this irregular at all! |
| Y CVn | V | 12h 45m 8.12s | 45° 26' 23.2" | C-8 | P | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A bright yellow star with orange tinging. Approximately 5 mv. One of the least red M stars. |
| NGC 5272 | N | 13h 42m 12s | 28° 23' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | Very nice, even in the light pollution. |
| STF 1877AB | D | 14h 44m 59.13s | 27° 4' 29.9" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | AKA Izar, Epsilon Bootes. A beautiful, close pair, gold and blue. Superb in tonight's Pickering 9.5 skies. WDS data: 2.58 - 4.81mv, K0II-III, 341° pa, 3.4", 2012 seen. |
| STF 1888AB | D | 14h 51m 23.37s | 19° 6' 1.7" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | AKA Xi Bootes. An exquisite double. Yellow and yellow with an orange tinge. WDS data: 4.76 - 6.95mv, G*V+K5V, 393.3° pa, 5.55", 2015. |
| STF 1909 | D | 15h 3m 47.29s | 47° 39' 14.6" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | AKA 44 Bootes. A very close double star. Not clearly split. At 500x, the airy discs were touching, and the diffraction disks formed shimmering rings around the two stars. WDS data: 5.20 - 6.10mv, F7V+K4V, 61° pa, 1.7", 2010. |
| STF 1910 | D | 15h 7m 32.95s | 9° 13' 33.79" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A close pair of yellow stars. They look fainter than their stated 7 Mv. WDS data: 7.35 - 7.54mv, G2VG3V, 211° pa, 4.0", 2007. |
| NGC 5904 | N | 15h 18m 36s | 2° 5' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A most glorious Globular cluster, even when viewed in the light pollution of my backyard. Approximately 30-50 stars were visible with direct vision, and hundreds with averted vision. |
| STF 1985 | D | 15h 55m 54.62s | -2° 9' 51.3" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | Primary a pale yellow, Secondary a dusky blue. WDS data: 7.03 - 8.65mv, F8V, 353° pa, 6.0", 2010. |
| STF 1657 | D | 12h 35m 7.76s | 18° 22' 37.39" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:30:00 | AKA 24 Coma. A glorious double. Primary yellow, secondary blue green. Reminds me of Albireo. WDS data: 5.11 - 6.33mv, K2III, 271° pa, 19.9", 2009. |
| STF 1954AB | D | 15h 34m 48.13s | 10° 32' 20" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | AKA Delta Serpens. An exquisite little double. At first glance, both stars look white, but more careful examination reveals that the primary is a very pastel yellow green, and its companion is very pastel green. WDS data: 4.17 - 5.16mv, F0IV, 173° pa, 3.9", 2010. |
| V Oph | V | 16h 26m 43.66s | -12° 25' 42.85" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A very red star of approximately 8.5 mv. Nice. |
| STFA 31 | D | 16h 40m 38.68s | 4° 13' 11" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A swept up double. A pair of white stars of 5 - 6 Mv, 80" apart, position angle not recorded. Also known as 36 and 37 Her. They are listed as an A1 and A3, but look pastel yellow and blue. WDS gives separation as 67.8, and position angle as 233. WDS data: 5.76 - 6.92mv, U, 230° pa, 69.3", 2009. |
| STF 2087AB | D | 16h 42m 34.82s | 23° 40' 1.9" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | "Discovered" this rather nice double while sweeping. A pair of 9 Mv stars. WDS lists them as G5s, but I saw them as white, with a tinging of red. Approximately 4" sep and position angle = 300 degrees. (WDS: 6.5", 288, 2009). WDS data: 8.84 - 8.90mv, G5IV, 288° pa, 5.2", 2009. |
| NGC 6210 | N | 16h 44m 30s | 23° 49' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A round, slightly fuzzy at the edges disc. It's bright, small, and pastel blue. |
| NGC 6341 | N | 17h 17m 6s | 43° 8' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | Partially resolved at 80x. A color-magnitude graph found online shows that most of the stars are fainter than 14 Mv. Weird. I saw at least 30 of them, and granulation indicating many more. I suspect that Burnham, who mentions that the stars are 12th and below is correct. A most magnificient assemblage of stars. |
| SV Oph | V | 17h 56m 24.78s | 3° 22' 33.4" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A red orange star of approximately 8 mv, seen while sweeping. Not in SAO. Seen at 17h 57m 30s, +2 degrees 42'. Burnham (precessed to 2007) gives 17h 56m 46.07s, 3° 22m 29.36s. I saw the star as approximately 8.5 mv, Burnham says it's 9.4 to 13 mv. The AAVSO chart seems to reflect the field in which I saw the star. |
| STF 2272 | D | 18h 5m 17.8s | 2° 30' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | AKA 70 Oph. A lovely pair, yellow and gold. WDS data: 10.83 - 11.77mv, U, 270° pa, 180.4", 2009. |
| T Lyr | V | 18h 32m 20.1s | 36° 59' 52.42" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A very red star, as red as anything else in the sky. Approximately 9.5mv. The longer one stares at it, the redder it seems to get. Perhaps the "Purkinje" effect? |
| T Lyr | V | 18h 32m 20.1s | 36° 59' 52.42" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A stunningly red star, approximately 8 mv. The brightest in the field. |
| STFA 38 | D | 18h 44m 46.34s | 37° 36' 18" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA Zeta Lyrae. A nice wide pair of bright yellow stars. WDS data: 4.34 - 5.62mv, F0IVv, 150° pa, 43.7", 2010. |
| STF 2470 | D | 19h 8m 45.2s | 34° 45' 37.09" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | With it's companion pair, 2474, one of the finest double star sights in the heavens. WDS data: 7.03 - 8.44mv, B5V, 268° pa, 13.7", 2007. |
| STF 2474AB | D | 19h 9m 4.35s | 34° 35' 59.9" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | With it's companion pair, 2470, one of the finest double star sights in the heavens. WDS data: 6.78 - 7.88mv, G1V, 263° pa, 15.5", 2010. |
| STF 2474AB | D | 19h 9m 4.35s | 34° 35' 59.9" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | With it's companion pair, 2470, one of the finest double star sights in the heavens. WDS data: 7.03 - 8.44mv, B5V, 268° pa, 13.7", 2007. |
| NGC 6779 | N | 19h 16m 36s | 30° 11' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A low contrast clump of faint stars, rather loose, as it was resolved to it's core. Resolution was tricky with the bright sky plus the milky way. |
| U Lyr | V | 19h 20m 3.94s | 37° 52' 23.84" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | Apparently fairly faint at this time. AAVSO puts it at around twelfth magnitude for now. |
| NGC 6791 | N | 19h 20m 42s | 37° 51' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A very low contrast brightening of the sky between 2 6th mv stars approximately 15 arc minutes apart in position angle of approximately 45 degrees. No stars were seen. Faint. |
| ES 2490 | D | 19h 20m 50.49s | 37° 39' 18" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A pair of 10th magnitude stars I happened upon while trying to find U Lyr. There are several pairs in this region, and this was the first I happened upon. WDS lists the position angle as 40 degrees, I saw it as 315 degrees. 2011 update. I suspect this was not ES 2490, but another star. WDS data: 10.8 - 11.6mv, K1III, 40° pa, 21.5", 1998. |
| STFA 43 | D | 19h 30m 43.29s | 27° 57' 34" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA Albireo, Beta Cyg. This famous double is possibly better in the Questar than the C8. The larger aperature overwhelms the colors, and they appear pale gold and blue in sharp focus. A bit of defocusing allows the colors to become more pronounced. WDS data: 3.19 - 4.68mv, U, 54° pa, 34.8", 2010. |
| TT Cyg | V | 19h 40m 56.98s | 32° 37' 1.7" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A yellow star with strong brown overtones. A weird color for a star, like a tungsten light bulb seen through a brown filter. Approximately 7.5 mv. |
| STFA 46 | D | 19h 41m 49.09s | 50° 31' 31" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA 16 Cyg. Found this while examining the skies around NGC 6826. They share the same declination, and are a little over a degree apart. I saw a position angle of approximately 135, WDS reports the position angle is 141. The two yellow stars looked a bit like distant headlights. My separation was approximately 30 d, WDS, 37 degrees. WDS data: 6.00 - 6.23mv, G1.5V, 133° pa, 39.7", 2010. |
| NGC 6826 | N | 19h 44m 48s | 50° 31' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | The "blinking" planetary appeared as a fuzzy star surrounded by nebulosity. I couldn't make it blink much, perhaps due to the brightness of the surrounding sky. One of the brighter planetaries. |
| STF 2580AB | D | 19h 46m 25.6s | 33° 43' 39.3" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA 17 cyg. A nice double is a beautiful field. WDS data: 5.06 - 9.25mv, F5V, 68° pa, 26.0", 2010. |
| AX Cyg | V | 19h 57m 13s | 44° 15' 40.34" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A yellow white star with very strong red overtones. Sometimes looks quite red, sometimes almost white, depending on the degree of averted vision. It appeared to be 8 Mv, not 9, as stated in Burnham. The companion was not visible. |
| STF 1965 | D | 15h 39m 22.67s | 36° 38' 9" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | AKA Zeta CrB, a superb pair of bright white (B7 - B9) stars. A good show object for a moonlit night. One of the best. WDS data: 4.96 - 5.91mv, B7VB9V, 306° pa, 6.0", 2010. |
| RR Her | V | 16h 4m 13.3s | 50° 29' 52.7" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A very pale red star approximately 8.5 mv, slightly brighter than the 8.8 mv star in the AAVSO finder chart. |
| NGC 6205 | N | 16h 41m 42s | 36° 28' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A glorious sight, despite the moonlight. Hundreds of stars, in a glow of thousands, like spilled sugar. |
| NGC 6229 | N | 16h 47m 0s | 47° 32' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | Looks like a bright elliptical galaxy. There was the slightest bit of mottling in the cluster, visible with averted vision and 163x. It looked more condensed than its class VII type indicates. Early observers (Herschel, Webb) saw this as a planetary nebula. The brightest stars are reported as 15.5 Mv, it's not suprising that I didn't resolve this one! |
| STF 3107 | D | 16h 58m 50.28s | 3° 58' 1" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | Not found. Need a finder chart! WDS data: 9.30 - 10.11mv, U, 43° pa, 72.6", 2002. |
| STF 2202AB | D | 17h 44m 34.08s | 2° 34' 45.9" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | AKA 61 Oph. A nice, wide pair of white stars. WDS data: 6.13 - 6.47mv, A1IV-V, 93° pa, 20.6", 2010. |
| STF 2245AB | D | 17h 56m 24.41s | 18° 19' 37" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A lovely pair of A2 stars, cleanly split even at 80x. They were as yellow as F stars, I suspect a bit of interstellar reddening causes this. WDS data: 7.43 - 7.55mv, U, 290° pa, 2.6", 2010. |
| STF 2276AB | D | 18h 5m 43.29s | 12° 0' 13.9" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A nice pair in a rich field. Beautiful. WDS data: 7.09 - 7.44mv, A7p, 257° pa, 6.9", 2010. |
| U Lyr | V | 19h 20m 3.94s | 37° 52' 23.84" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A faint approximately 10 mv star, quite red, but hard to see in this moon washed sky. |
| STF 2404 | D | 18h 50m 45.54s | 10° 58' 35.19" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | "Discovered" while sweeping the least hazy part of the sky. Clouded out minutes later. I'm sure this is a very nice pair, if the skies are clear. The WDS lists 6 other doubles within a degree of this one. WDS data: 6.92 - 7.77mv, U, 181° pa, 3.4", 2010. |
| STF 2486AB | D | 19h 12m 5.03s | 49° 51' 20.7" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | A nice pair of yellow stars in a beautiful field, they are the brightest stars in that field. WDS data: 6.54 - 6.67mv, G3VG3V, 205° pa, 7.1", 2010. |
| STF 2578 | D | 19h 45m 39.65s | 36° 5' 27" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | A very pale yellow and blue pair. Burnham and bright star list the primary as a B9. To make it appear yellow, there must be a bit of interstellar reddening. WDS data: 6.37 - 99mv, B9.5V, 70° pa, 95.0", 2006. |
| STT 391 | D | 19h 56m 50.14s | 44° 16' 16" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | An interesting triple star, with STU 12. WDS data: 7.9 - 9.9mv, A0p, 51° pa, 17.9", 2011. |
| Cyg_X1 | N | 19h 58m 18s | 35° 2' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | The celebrated X ray source, the first black hole to be recognized as such. A white star that appeared lackluster in these overly hazy skies. It might appear more brilliant in clearer skies. |
| STF 3107 | D | 16h 58m 50.28s | 3° 58' 1" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-02 22:00:00 | A rather faint double, 2 9th magnitude stars in Ophiuchus. With the 56mm eyepiece, the star looked single, with the 24.5, it was barely elongated, with the 6mm, it was cleanly split. The stars were faint enough that the diffraction rings were almost invisible. WDS data: 9.30 - 10.11mv, U, 43° pa, 72.6", 2002. |
| STF 1935 | D | 15h 20m 13.27s | 30° 41' 44.2" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | Swept up this pair while looking for S CrB. It looked to me as position angle 300°, separation 5", 9.5 - 10 Mv. WDS gives 290 pa, 8.4 separation, and 10-10 Mv. WDS data: 9.91 - 10.19mv, G5, 290° pa, 8.6", 2009. |
| STF 1970 | D | 15h 46m 11.21s | 15° 25' 18" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | Swept up while looking for R Ser. I saw the primary as an A star, 3-8 Mv, separation 50 position angle 270, WDS gives 3.7-10 separation 24, position angle 212, with the primary as an A2, 2010. WDS data: 3.66 - 10.7mv, A2IV, 212° pa, 199.5", 2009. |
| STF 2140AB | D | 17h 14m 38.85s | 14° 23' 24.9" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | A grand colored double, I see them as orange and white with strong green tinging, perhaps caused by the strong reddish color of the primary. This 3.1 Mv star is barely visible from my backyard. WDS data: 3.48 - 5.40mv, M5Ib-II, 103° pa, 4.7", 2010. |
| STF 2362 | D | 18h 38m 25.7s | 36° 3' 11.29" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | Swept up this pair while sweeping through Lyra. It looked like the components were 8-9 Mv, 3" sep, and 180 degrees position angle. WDS gives 8-9 Mv, 3.9 sep, and 179 position angle. WDS data: 7.53 - 8.72mv, A5, 187° pa, 4.3", 2008. |
| STF 2860AB | D | 22h 3m 13.84s | 60° 50' 52.4" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | I saw the pair as 7.5-9.5mv, 10", 260pa. The WDS gives the separation as 3". WDS data: 7.91 - 9.23mv, K0, 257° pa, 12.8", 2008. |
| STF 2401AB | D | 18h 48m 57.82s | 21° 10' 1.3" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-21 22:30:00 | These stars looked fainter than their 7 - 8.5 Mv, as reported by Burnham, especially the secondary. WDS gives the secondary as 9.27 Mv. A none too spectacular pair, not helped by tonight's hazy skies. WDS data: 7.27 - 9.27mv, B3V, 38° pa, 4.3", 2008. |
| STF 2021AB | D | 16h 13m 18.45s | 13° 31' 37.2" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-31 22:00:00 | Swept up this exquisite double while looking for Struve 2007. Burnham gives the spectra as K0, but that's unlikely, both look like A stars to me. I saw 0 degrees pa, recent observations at U of South Alabama give a position angle of 356.

| NGC 6204 | N | 16h 46m 30s | -47° 1' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 21:30:00 | A large cluster, not at bright as M 10, but much more compact, with much fainter stars. It looked a bit elongated to me, in position angle 70 degrees. The cluster was easily granulated, but individual stars were hard to see. It's brightest stars are 14 mv, with most under 20th (Kogon, et al, Astronomical Journal, Vol. 79, p. 387 (1974)) |

| IC 1257 | N | 17h 27m 6s | -7° 6' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 21:45:00 | One of the faintest objects I've ever seen. It was a barely preceptible but persistent brightening of the sky. A 13.7 magnitude star just south of it was easily seen. SEDS gives its overall integrated magnitude as 13.1. An HR diagram (Harris, et al, Astronomical Journal v.113, p.688-691 (1997)) shows it's brightest star to be 16 mv. Other data:http://www.mporzio.astro.it/~marco/gc/ |

| NGC 6613 | N | 18h 19m 54s | -17° 8' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | A large, loose cluster, enveloped in faint nebulosity. In a starless region of the sky, this grouping would be spectacular, but towards the center of the milky way, it hardly stands out. |
| NGC 6618 | N | 18h 20m 48s | -16° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | "The swan" seems to swim northwards through the milky way. One of the most beautiful nebula in the sky. |
| NGC 6818 | N | 19h 44m 0s | -14° 9' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | A bright, pale blue doughnut. The "ring" shape of this nebula was barely apparent, it's central region was much brighter than M57's. When I looked directly at the nebula, it seemed to vanish, as my fovea could not see it. |
| NGC 6822 | N | 19h 44m 54s | -14° 48' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | This galaxy appears to be a star cloud in the milky way. It's very low contrast, and seems to be oriented in north-south direction, position angle approximately 0 degrees. It is very hard to see, even at 36x. |
| NGC 6864 | N | 20h 6m 6s | -21° 55' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | A bright, compact globular cluster. It's quite striking. I barely could granulate this cluster. The brightest stars in the cluster are only 14th mv. (Catelan, M et al. in The Astronomical Journal, Volume124, Issue 1, pp. 364-378.) |
| NGC 6994 | N | 20h 59m 0s | -12° 38' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | "Messier's Mistake". An easily made one. This little asterism does indeed seem to have a glow of nebulosity or a cloud of very faint stars around it. It is now not even thought to be a cluster. |
| NGC 6853 | N | 19h 59m 36s | 22° 43' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-09-12 22:30:00 | Wow. In dark skies, this is spectacular. The southern "bell" is the brighter, and hints of mottling were seen. The nebula itself was washed out blue in color. The star field around it is dazzling. |
| NGC 6960 | N | 20h 45m 42s | 30° 43' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:30:00 | Eastern branch of the Veil. A soft glow near 52 Cyg in a glorious field. The nebula is mostly north and south of 52. |
| NGC 6992 | N | 20h 56m 24s | 31° 43' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:30:00 | The western branch of the Veil. A large, faint, pale arc of nebulosity in a glorious field. Superb at 36x |

Given it's an M4 giant, it probably does vary a bit. It looked like sunlight glinting off of a newly minted penny. Swept up while looking for NGC 7293 |
| NGC 7099 | N | 21h 40m 24s | -23° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:45:00 | A loose globular, with stars 11.5... mv. Not as striking as M 75. The published H-R diagram shows the brightest stars are 12... mv (Buonanno, R, et all in Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, vol. 74, no.3, Sept. 1998) |
| NGC 224 | N | 0h 42m 42s | 41° 16' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-09-13 00:15:00 | I managed to trace the boundaries of this galaxy to 4 degrees along its major axis. The dark lanes just west of the nucleus were glimpsed. The light of the galaxy is uniform, especially towards the center. |

Position angle approximately 180. WDS: position angle: 195, Sep: 2.3, Mv: 7.21, Mvb: 8.99, Sp: A2. WDS data: 7.21 - 8.99mv, A2, 195° pa, 2.4", 2006. |

WDS: position angle: 256, Sep: 14.7, Mv: 7.21, Mvb: 8.02, Sp: G2IV-V. WDS data: 7.21 - 8.02mv, G2IV-V, 256° pa, 15.8", 2007. |
| NGC 7662 | N | 23h 25m 54s | 42° 33' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | A fuzzy, almost featureless pale blue disk with a hint of a central hole. The nebula vanished when viewed with the fovea in the 24.5. Not so the 12.5, as the image then spills over the retina's fovea. |
| NGC 7768 | N | 23h 50m 54s | 27° 10' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | An E0 galaxy, with an integrated magnitude of 12.3. This is the faintest galaxy I've ever seen from the backyard.

It is a triple, as there is an 11 mv companion at approximately 270 position angle. WDS: position angle: 315, Sep: 9.4, Mv: 7.94, Mvb: 10.17, Sp: G5.

The secondary sat on the primaries first or second diffraction ring, the seeing was fairly unsteady, so the rings were dancing around wildly; position angle approximately 270°. WDS: position angle: 60, Sep: 1.4, Mv: 6.79, Mvb: 6.84, Sp: F9V. It's possible that this was the wrong star. WDS data: 6.79 - 6.84mv, F9V, 246° pa, 0.9", 2009. |

Oddly, the color magnitude diagram shows only 1 or 2 12th magnitude stars, and quite a few 14th and below stars. The cluster was easily resolved. |

Without a finder chart I would not have been able to find it. Ranks with IC 1257 for difficulty in seeing it. I only "saw" the brightest member, NGC 7320. |

The nebula associated with this was located around an arc minute or two NW of the star. It was extremely faint, and if I hadn't know it was there I would not have spotted it. |

| STF 155AB | D | 1h 44m 15.19s | 9° 29' 2.7" | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 20:00:00 | A pretty pair, forming the base of an isosceles triangle triangle of stars. A nice asterism! WDS data: 7.87 - 8.01mv, F2, 326° pa, 4.9", 2008. |
| STF 208AB | D | 2h 3m 39.25s | 25° 56' 7.59" | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 20:00:00 | A barely elongated blob in this unsteady seeing. A revisit is in order. WDS data: 5.82 - 7.87mv, F8IV, 23° pa, 2.0", 2006. |

| STF 1116 | D | 7h 34m 32.01s | 12° 18' 16.89" | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | A nice, close pair WDS data: 7.81 - 8.50mv, B8, 96° pa, 1.8", 2008. |
| NGC 2422 | N | 7h 36m 36s | -14° 30' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | A sparse, but bright open cluster containing the exquisite double Struve 1121. |

| S Aur | V | 5h 27m 7.42s | 34° 9' 7.57" | C-8 | B | 2007-12-31 19:00:00 | Invisible, despite a decent finder chart. I recorded 12th mv stars with the 12.5 orthoscopic, but the AAVSO observers find it to be 12.5 - 13.1 mv |
| AQ And | V | 0h 27m 31.79s | 35° 35' 15" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-01 19:00:00 | An orange star of 8th Mv, despite the GCVS range of 10-12. AAVSO observers peg it at approximately 8.5. |
| S 390 | D | 0h 58m 9.75s | -15° 40' 58" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-01 19:00:00 | An exquisite pair of white stars. WDS data: 7.77 - 7.86mv, dF6+dF7, 216° pa, 6.5", 2008. |

| STF 334 | D | 2h 59m 22.43s | 6° 39' 7.79" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-01 19:00:00 | The seeing tonight was terrible. I elongated the star in PA 300. WDS data: 7.90 - 8.23mv, F0, 309° pa, 1.2", 2008. |
| NGC 1049 | N | 2h 39m 42s | -34° 17' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | Without a finder chart, this would never have been seen. Like IC 1257, it's a small, low contrast smudge in the night sky, barely seen with averted vision. With this cluster, I've seen every globular in the NGC and IC north of -50 declination. |
| NGC 1380 | N | 3h 36m 30s | -34° 59' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A nondescript smudge, easily seen with averted vision. |
| NGC 1381 | N | 3h 36m 36s | -35° 18' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | Just south of 1380, a bit fainter than 1380. |
| NGC 1387 | N | 3h 37m 0s | -35° 31' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A faint, low contrast brightening of the sky. |
| NGC 1389 | N | 3h 37m 12s | -35° 45' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A faint glow in the fornax cluster. |
| NGC 1399 | N | 3h 38m 30s | -35° 27' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | The brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster. |
| NGC 1404 | N | 3h 38m 54s | -35° 35' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A fairly brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster. |
| NGC 1514 | N | 4h 9m 12s | 30° 47' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A very low contrast smudge about a 9th mv K star. |
| NGC 2323 | N | 7h 3m 12s | -8° 20' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | AKA M 50. A large (15-20 arc minute), loose cluster of star chains. Whether this effect was due to actual stellar formations as chains or an illusion of my visual processing is unknown. The cluster is in a very rich region of the milky way. A splendid wide field view. |
| RY Mon | V | 7h 6m 56.31s | -7° 33' 20.41" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | Perhaps redder than R Lep. Approximately 9 mv. |
| HJ 2043 | D | 1h 22m 30.47s | -19° 4' 52.4" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 19:00:00 | This pair was in the trees but I found it nonetheless. Hardly worth the effort. WDS data: 6.54 - 8.65mv, F6IV, 74° pa, 5.5", 2007. |
| HJ 2052 | D | 1h 31m 33.96s | -19° 1' 22.79" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A very wide, swept up double in position angle 120 (WDS: 115°, 2001). I saw them as 6th mv, WDS: 6.9 - 7.5 WDS data: 6.86 - 7.47mv, A7IIIK0, 115° pa, 80.0", 2001. |
| STF 147 | D | 1h 41m 44.84s | -11° 19' 28.9" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | I saw an elongation at approximately 250° position angle, but it was slight. Not the 3.5" listed. Perhaps revisit this with a finder chart? WDS data: 6.14 - 7.17mv, F5V+F7V, 120° pa, 0.1", 2009. |
| STF 150 | D | 1h 43m 22.43s | -7° 4' 37.3" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A nice, wide white pair. With the exception of a few averted vision faint stars, the only stars visible in the 24.5 field. A nice effect. WDS data: 7.73 - 8.19mv, A, 196° pa, 35.6", 2001. |
| STF 231AB | D | 2h 12m 47.54s | -2° 23' 37.09" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A nice, wide pair, of yellow white and white stars. Oddly, the 5.7 mv yellow white star is listed as an F8, whereas the 7.7 mv white one is a G1. The dimmer the star, the harder to see its colors. WDS data: 5.72 - 7.71mv, F8VG1V, 235° pa, 16.9", 2010. |
| STF 287 | D | 2h 38m 59.77s | 14° 51' 37.59" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A run of the mill pair. I saw PA as approximately 80, WDS as 74. WDS data: 7.36 - 9.61mv, G5, 73° pa, 6.6", 2007. |
| STF 330 | D | 2h 57m 10.61s | -0° 34' 28.29" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A dull pair in position angle 190 (WDS: 191). WDS data: 7.25 - 9.06mv, G8III, 192° pa, 8.9", 2010. |
| STF 546 | D | 4h 27m 0.62s | 19° 7' 3.6" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | An OK pair. position angle 200. WDS: 182. WDS data: 7.94 - 9.21mv, G0, 182° pa, 6.8", 2002. |
| STF 545AB | D | 4h 27m 4.84s | 18° 12' 27.1" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | An average pair, position angle 60. WDS: 64. WDS data: 6.92 - 8.78mv, A0V, 58° pa, 18.6", 2010. |
| STF 559 | D | 4h 33m 33.04s | 18° 1' 0.19" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A gorgeous close pair of B9 stars. One of the finest in the sky. An under reported pair of gems. WDS data: 6.97 - 7.02mv, B9IVn, 279° pa, 3.1", 2010. |
| KS Mon | V | 6h 19m 44.19s | -5° 17' 2.47" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A very pale red star of approximately 9 mv. |
| NGC 2219 | N | 6h 23m 24s | -4° 41' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | This does not seem to be a cluster at all. More like a chance grouping of 6 or 7 bright (7 - 9 mv) Milky way stars. WikiSky does not list it, and a quick look at the PSS confirms it. One of John Hershel's errors. |
| NGC 1535 | N | 4h 14m 12s | -12° 44' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:30:00 | A pastel blue planetary nebula, looking like an out of focus star in the 24.5. The sky was becoming cloudy, a clear sky might have shown more detail. |
| SY Eri | V | 5h 9m 48.28s | -5° 30' 49.77" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:30:00 | A very pale brick red star of approximately 9.5 mv. |

| NGC 1662 | N | 4h 48m 30s | 10° 56' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-08 19:00:00 | A loose open cluster, swept up when looking for a double (Struve 535!) with a poorly aligned telescope. Obviously a cluster, but unspectacular. |
| BU 6AB | D | 1h 44m 43.67s | -6° 45' 58.2" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-09 19:00:00 | A very difficult double. The 9th magnitude secondary was almost invisible in the glare of the 6.7 mv primary. PA observed as approximately 170°. WDS: 163°. WDS data: 6.65 - 8.91mv, G5III, 163° pa, 2.3", 2006. |
| STF 535 | D | 4h 23m 16.83s | 11° 22' 40.49" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-09 19:00:00 | The star was found, but not split. The seeing just wasn't good enough. WDS gives the pair as position angle: 275, Sep: 2.0, Burnham at position angle: 300, Sep: 1.1, and lists the separation as "decreasing". It could well be under an arc second. I saw a slight elongation in PA 260°. WDS data: 6.95 - 8.29mv, A5III, 275° pa, 1.1", 2009. |
| STF 1355 | D | 9h 27m 16.69s | 6° 13' 59" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | This was elongated in position angle 130°. WDS gives 328°. Burnham gives 345, and claims it's a common proper motion pair. Worth another look. WDS data: 7.71 - 7.76mv, F7V, 353° pa, 1.8", 2009. |
| STF 1357AB | D | 9h 28m 20.51s | -9° 59' 12.79" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | The companion was quite faint, as advertised. This would be a challenge in a smaller telescope. WDS data: 6.94 - 9.85mv, K0, 55° pa, 7.6", 2007. |
| STF 1365 | D | 9h 31m 31.26s | 1° 27' 55.09" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A close little pair, alternatively split and elongated in tonight's winds. Pa approximately 170, WDS: position angle 162°. WDS data: 7.38 - 7.98mv, F9III, 156° pa, 3.3", 2005. |
| STF 1367 | D | 9h 32m 11.77s | -10° 50' 37.2" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A rather dull double. PA approximately 190°. WDS: position angle 183. WDS data: 7.93 - 8.99mv, G0, 184° pa, 5.2", 1999. |
| STF 1367 | D | 9h 32m 11.77s | -10° 50' 37.2" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A rather dull double. WDS data: 7.93 - 8.99mv, G0, 184° pa, 5.2", 1999. |
| W Sex | V | 9h 50m 58.59s | -2° 1' 43.54" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A dusky red star of 8.9 mv. It looked like a yellow star seen through a dark, red brown filter. |
| STF 1399 | D | 9h 57m 2.2s | 19° 45' 44.6" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | An easy, lackluster pair. PA 180. WDS position angle 175 WDS data: 7.65 - 8.36mv, G0, 175° pa, 30.6", 2009. |
| STF 1426AB C | D | 10h 20m 32.32s | 6° 25' 47" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A nice, unequal pair. PA approximately 75°. WDS: position angle 9. Quite a difference! There is a 5.6 mv M3 star, DE Leonis, 5 arc minutes west. Overall, a pretty field. WDS data: 7.30 - 9.43mv, F5, 9° pa, 7.8", 2009. |

| V Hya | V | 10h 51m 37.24s | -21° 14' 59.74" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A deep red star with a touch of brown. Approximately 9 mv. A beautiful sight. AAVSO lists the maximum mv as 10.9. It was brighter than this. |
| STF 1540 | D | 11h 26m 45.75s | 3° 0' 45" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | Avery nice wide pair. Pastel yellow, white. position angle approximately150°. WDS: 145°. A wider double, STFA 19, is south and east of this. WDS data: 6.55 - 9.9mv, G7V, 193° pa, 203.3", 2009. |

| STT 174 | D | 7h 35m 56s | 43° 1' 51.4" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | I saw position angle approximately 80°. WDS position angle: 88°. The companion was almost overwhelmed from the glare of the primary. This 1.6" pair requires good seeing to split. WDS data: 6.62 - 8.26mv, F0, 88° pa, 2.2", 2008. |
| GO CMa | V | 6h 46m 15.5s | -12° 52' 48" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 21:30:00 | A dull red star, even at 10.5 mv. The GCVS and AAVSO report the maximum magnitude of the star is 13 mv. I saw 10.5, and Wikisky gives 10.27, identifying the star as TYC 5387-1068-1. AAVSO give the spectrum as C(N). I suspect that the star is a "late" one, perhaps N5, as it was quite red. |

There is another 8th mv star, about an arc minute to the east, in the same position angle,(90 d) that adds to the lovely effect. WDS pa: 100 degrees. WDS data: 5.44 - 9.2mv, G0, 105° pa, 61.3", 2009. |

In the 24.5, there are a line of stars: 7.5 10.1 , 10.8, 8.1, 7.7, and 8.5 mv splitting the field. The 8.1 and the 7.7 are Struve 697. One of the unsung spectacular sights in the sky. Wow! Position angle approximately 300°, WDS: 286. Strangely enough, this was missed by Burnham, although it gets a brief mention in Webb. WDS data: 7.27 - 8.10mv, B7V, 286° pa, 25.9", 2008. |

Initially they looked like the K stars they are, but after staring at them for a while, they looked more like F stars. Stellar color is a very subjective thing, sans photoelectric devices.

A truly dull double, noticeable only because it's 15 arc minutes south of M5. WDS data: 5.06 - 99mv, F8V, 275° pa, 713.6", 2009. |

| R Leo | V | 9h 47m 33.6s | 11° 25' 49.01" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A deep orange red 7.6mv star. Its red was stronger than many N stars, it's the reddest M star I've ever seen. |
| CW Leo | V | 9h 47m 57.64s | 13° 16' 48.09" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | The field was found, but CW Leo was too faint for me to see. |

| Y Hya | V | 9h 51m 3.53s | -23° 0' 59.3" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A gray-deep orange star of ~7 mv. It was in the cherry tree, and quite alone in the 36x field. None of the stars in the finder chart were visible, because of foliage and light pollution. |
| S 605 | D | 9h 54m 6.69s | 4° 56' 43.49" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A somewhat dull, wide pair. WDS data: 6.89 - 8.40mv, gM0K0, 287° pa, 52.5", 2004. |
| NGC 3242 | N | 10h 24m 48s | -18° 38' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A light blue featureless disk with fuzzy edges. It appeared to be about 20" in diameter to me. The outer envelope was not visible. This was observed through the foliage of the cherry tree, so it is not too surprising that little was seen. |
| S 617 | D | 10h 53m 24.96s | -2° 15' 18.79" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A lackluster pair. WDS data: 6.22 - 8.71mv, G9IV, 178° pa, 35.3", 2010. |

They are between two 6th mv stars, which are themselves about 6 arc minutes apart. The entire group is listed as Struve 1659. It was swept up while looking for M 104, NGC 4594, which was obliterated by Washington's light pollution. WDS data: 7.94 - 9.88mv, G0, 31° pa, 189.6", 2003. |

| STF 1678 | D | 12h 45m 26.16s | 14° 22' 24.89" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A wide, dull pair. WDS data: 7.16 - 7.68mv, B8V, 171° pa, 37.1", 2010. |

These are G5s and one would have thought they would look yellower, like sunlight, which spectrally they closely resemble. Their faintness and the grey-blue cast of the moonlit, light polluted skies renders them as pale yellow. WDS data: 7.13 - 7.39mv, G5VG5V, 75° pa, 26.2", 2005. |
| SHJ 179AB | D | 14h 25m 29.91s | -19° 58' 11.79" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A wide, OK pair, seen through the cherry blossoms. They would probably look better without the foliage. WDS data: 6.61 - 7.16mv, A2V, 296° pa, 34.6", 2010. |
| SHJ 191 | D | 14h 59m 34.57s | 53° 51' 36.7" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | Nice wide pair with position angle approximately 150°. WDS position angle: 342. WDS PA confirmed on WikiSky. WDS data: 6.86 - 7.57mv, F1VF1V, 342° pa, 40.3", 2010. |

| STF 1988 | D | 15h 56m 45.52s | 12° 28' 40.59" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A nice, close pair, cleanly split at 400x. The outer diffraction patterns overlapped a bit, as this is a fairly bright pair of 7.6 - 7.8 mv stars; the WDS puts them at 2.9 arc seconds apart. WDS data: 7.59 - 7.84mv, F1V, 250° pa, 1.9", 2010. |

There is a 7.5 mv star in the marked position (10h 30m 11.4s, +50 59' 36",J2000) but it is not double. Confirmed by Wiki sky, Burnham and K stars. WDS data: 7.60 - 11.2mv, A7IV, 297° pa, 13.3", 2010. |
| STF 1474AB | D | 10h 47m 37.92s | -15° 15' 42.89" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | A triple, as there is a 6.8 mv star about an arc minute south of this pair. WDS gives the separation as 6.6 arc seconds, with a position angle of 194°. My measurements concur, but the WikiSky Sloan survey plate gives their separation more as 10", if the cursor position indicator is to be trusted. Interesting pair. WDS data: 6.66 - 7.04mv, B9IV, 28° pa, 66.2", 2002. |
| STF 1561 | D | 11h 39m 0.22s | 45° 6' 31" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | The 6.5-8.2 pair was seen, the 6.5-9.4 pair was not visible, the position angle of the first pair, as reported by Burnham as 253, WDS as 270, and me as 245°, is indeed decreasing, again as reported by Burnham. WDS data: 9.46 - 7.56mv, F2, 73° pa, 549.9", 2009. |

| NGC 4402 | N | 12h 26m 6s | 13° 7' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small edge on, very faint. |
| NGC 4435 | N | 12h 27m 42s | 13° 5' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright, small elliptical. Forms a pair with NGC 4438. |
| NGC 4438 | N | 12h 27m 48s | 13° 1' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A faint, large, edge on spiral. |
| NGC 4438 | N | 12h 27m 48s | 13° 1' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | An Sa peculiar, with a diaphanous outer envelope. The envelope wasn't seen, and it looks like a bright, small elliptical. Forms a pair with NGC 4435. |
| NGC 4446 | N | 12h 28m 12s | 13° 55' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | This galaxy, along with NGC 4447 which is almost on top of it, (perhaps they are interacting?) is the faintest galaxy I saw tonight. They were but a persistent glowing patch of sky background. HNGC lists them as 13.8 and 14 mv. I only located them because of their proximity to NGC 4459, and it's 8 mv star just south east. |
| NGC 4461 | N | 12h 29m 0s | 13° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKA NGC 4443. A small, bright elliptical (Burnham: S0). A pair with the fainter ngc 4458. |
| NGC 4458 | N | 12h 29m 0s | 13° 15' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Makes a pair with the brighter ngc 4461. HNGC lists this as 11.8 mv, but it looks fainter than that. It also lists it as an elliptical, but it was too faint for me to guess. |
| NGC 4459 | N | 12h 29m 0s | 13° 59' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright spiral that blinks with the 8.1 mv K star just south east of it. When you look at the star the galaxy vanishes, when you look away from it, the galaxy appears to be only a bit dimmer than the star. The "blinking" galaxy! |
| NGC 4468 | N | 12h 29m 30s | 14° 3' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | An extremely faint galaxy, HNGC lists it as a 12.7 mv elliptical. |

| NGC 4474 | N | 12h 29m 54s | 14° 4' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small, round, faint galaxy. HRNGC lists it as 11.5 mv, "pretty faint". In the same field as NGC 4459 and NGC 4468. |
| NGC 4476 | N | 12h 30m 0s | 12° 21' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | In the same field as M 87. An elliptical, but about four magnitudes fainter than M87. |
| NGC 4477 | N | 12h 30m 0s | 13° 38' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small elliptical with a faint middle. |
| NGC 4478 | N | 12h 30m 18s | 12° 20' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | In the same field as M 87. An elliptical, but about three magnitudes fainter than M87. |
| NGC 4479 | N | 12h 30m 18s | 13° 35' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A very faint, small galaxy. |
| NGC 4486 | N | 12h 30m 48s | 12° 24' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright elliptical with a small envelope. AKA M 87. |
| NGC 4501 | N | 12h 32m 0s | 14° 25' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright spiral like NGC 253, with a bright middle. AKA M 88. |
| NGC 4506 | N | 12h 32m 12s | 13° 25' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Another faint spiral, beyond the C-8. HNGC lists it as 12.8 mv. |
| NGC 4516 | N | 12h 33m 6s | 14° 34' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | HNGC lists this as a 12.5 mv spiral. It's too faint for the C-8. |
| NGC 4531 | N | 12h 34m 18s | 13° 5' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A very faint smudge. HNGC lists it as "faint", 11.7 mv. In general, spirals without bright middles are hard to see. |
| NGC 4548 | N | 12h 35m 24s | 14° 30' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A large, face on Sc, with a bright middle. Burnham: an SBb. Wiki Sky lists this as M 91. |
| NGC 4554 | N | 12h 35m 42s | 11° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A very faint glow. WikiSky shows a pair of 13th mv stars here. Probably an NGC error, and a very easy one to make. I saw but a glow, with averted vision, and no double star. Other internet sources confirm that this is indeed an NGC error. |
| NGC 4552 | N | 12h 35m 42s | 12° 33' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small, bright round elliptical with a bright middle. AKA M 89. |
| NGC 4564 | N | 12h 36m 24s | 11° 26' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small, uniformly bright spot. It looks like a faint planetary nebula. Burnham lists it as an E6, and its WikiSky photo confirms this. The nucleus does look round. Next time more power than 36x needs to be applied. |
| NGC 4568 | N | 12h 36m 36s | 11° 14' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A pair of galaxies, with NGC 4567 an arc minute to the north. At 36x, these looked like a single galaxy. They need to be re-examined with higher power. |
| NGC 4569 | N | 12h 36m 48s | 13° 10' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | An Andromeda like spiral, but much smaller! Bright middle. AKA M90. |
| NGC 4579 | N | 12h 37m 42s | 11° 49' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKA M 58. A bright, face on Sb/Sa/E0/? Burnham lists it as an Sb. |
| NGC 4584 | N | 12h 38m 18s | 13° 7' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Too faint for my C-8. HNGC lists it as 12.8 mv spiral, but that's spread over a couple of square arc minutes of sky. |
| NGC 4596 | N | 12h 39m 54s | 10° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A spiral with a bright middle, half a degree west of 5th magnitude Rho Vir. Burnham lists it as an S0/SBa. NGC 4608 is between Rho and NGC 4596. |
| NGC 4606 | N | 12h 41m 0s | 11° 55' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A faint, small, smudge. It looks like an Sb in it's WikiSky photo. There was no sign of the companion galaxy, NGC 4607, an edge on Sc of 13th mv. |
| NGC 4608 | N | 12h 41m 12s | 10° 9' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A spiral between NGC 4596 and Rho Vir. Burnham lists it as an A0/Sba. It's nucleus is fainter than NGC 4596's. |
| NGC 4621 | N | 12h 42m 0s | 11° 39' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKA M 59. Like a fuzzy star. Small but bright. I suspected it was a Seyfert, Burnham notes it is a massive elliptical, but considerably smaller than the milky way. |
| NGC 4638 | N | 12h 42m 48s | 11° 26' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A faint, almost star like, galaxy. There was no sign of the much fainter NGC 4637. Both galaxies appear to be spirals on WikiSky's photographic atlas, although HNGC lists NGC 4638 as an elliptical. Burnham lists it as an E5/S0. |
| NGC 4649 | N | 12h 43m 42s | 11° 33' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKAM 60. A bright elliptical, with fainter NGC 4647 just 3 arc minutes or so away to the north west. I suspect that the two are interacting, but photos do not show any significant distortion of the outer envelopes. A chance line up? Hard to tell. I saw both galaxies as spirals, but only NGC 4647 is. Burnham lists it as an Sc. |
| NGC 4654 | N | 12h 44m 0s | 13° 8' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A large, diffuse galaxy. Burnham lists it as an Sc. |
| NGC 4754 | N | 12h 52m 18s | 11° 19' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright, edge on spiral. Burnham lists it as an S0. |
| NGC 4762 | N | 12h 52m 54s | 11° 14' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright, edge on spiral, brighter than NGC 4754, with its outer envelope somewhat irregular. |

| NGC 3587 | N | 11h 14m 48s | 55° 1' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | The "owl" nebula. A faint planetary. It's surprising that Messier found it at all. The "eyes" were barely visible. Had I not known they were there, I would not have seen them. |
| NGC 4258 | N | 12h 19m 0s | 47° 18' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | An almost (~ 70° tilt) edge on Sb spiral, with only a hint of mottling in the arms. |
| NGC 4261 | N | 12h 19m 24s | 5° 49' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A bright, round, elliptical. Burnham: E2. |
| NGC 4260 | N | 12h 19m 24s | 6° 6' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A dim streak in position angle approximately 45°. (Burnham: SBc) |
| NGC 4264 | N | 12h 19m 36s | 5° 51' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint blob. |
| NGC 4269 | N | 12h 19m 48s | 6° 1' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A fuzzy 13th mv star, just south of a 7.7 mv field star. Not in Burnham. Looks like an elliptical in its Sloan photo. |
| NGC 4333 | N | 12h 23m 24s | 6° 2' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint spot. |
| NGC 4339 | N | 12h 23m 36s | 6° 5' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | An elliptical, position angle approximately 70°. (This position angle estimate is wrong). |
| NGC 4342 | N | 12h 23m 36s | 7° 3' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint, small smudge, with a brighter nucleus than NGC 4370 |
| NGC 4343 | N | 12h 23m 42s | 6° 57' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint smudge. |

| NGC 4464 | N | 12h 29m 24s | 8° 10' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint, fuzzy starlike object. Brighter than 4467. Not in Burnham, but HRNGC lists it as a spiral. In the sloan survey photo, it looks like an S0. |
| NGC 4467 | N | 12h 29m 30s | 8° 0' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | An extremely faint smudge. HRNGC lists it as 14th mv! Surprising I saw it at all, but it's an elliptical, and these look like fuzzy stars, rather than extended nebulae. |
| NGC 4469 | N | 12h 29m 30s | 8° 45' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A medium bright streak, in position angle approximately 70°. Burnham lists it as an edge on Sb. |
| NGC 4470 | N | 12h 29m 36s | 7° 49' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint, but distinct patch. A face on S0? Not in Burnham. NASA extragalactic Database lists it an an Sa(?). |

| NGC 4492 | N | 12h 31m 0s | 8° 5' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint ellipse, position angle approximately 60°, with an 11.5 mv field star on top of it. |

Nice starscape. Aladin, UCAC4: Probably more of a chance grouping of stars, althought the proper motions are all pretty small. A color magnitude plot might help decide the issue.

The variable V616 Cep, just north, was not visible at all. Aladin/UCAC4: V616 Cep is marked as 13.5mv by the UCAC4/APASS. This is fainter than the 12.2-12.8mv range given the the GCVS.

A very tiny (1-2"?) planetary. An internet search next morning reveals that estimates of this planetaries size vary from 5 to 10" in size. The Aladin/DSS image shows it as 13" across, but a 10.6mv star has the same image size. Higher resolution images show an inner bright round nucleus about 4" in diameter, and a faint outer shell. Conclusion? Angular measurements using only an eyepiece are unreliable! |
