| Abbreviations in the CON column are the IAU versions. |
| The column TYPE has following abbreviations: |
| OPNCL = open cluster |
PLNNB = planetary nebula |
GLOCL = globular cluster |
CL+NB = open cluster and nebulosity |
BRTNB = bright emission or reflection nebula |
| Hubble Classification for galaxies or GALXY where no
classification existed. |
| In the Herschel Column
the Classes are: |
| I = Bright Nebulae |
III = Very Faint Nebulae |
V = Very Large
Nebulae |
VII = Pretty Much Compressed
Clusters of Large or Small Stars |
| II = Faint Nebulae |
IV = Planetary Nebulae |

H VII 19 |
Large, not compressed, irregular shape and has
nice chains of stars at 100X. 50 members counted. This object and
6756 both fit in the one degree field of my giant 38mm Erfle eyepiece.
I called it the Double Cluster in Aquila. Both clusters are just visible
in the 11 X 80 finder. |

H VII 62 |
Pretty small, much compressed, elongated, compact
cluster at 165X. I counted 15 members resolved. |

H III 743 |
Bright, Large, somewhat elongated at 100X. It
is immediately obvious without the UHC filter. This planetary is shaped
like the gibbous moon with the south side brighter in an arc. There
is one star involved that stands out very nicely. The UHC filter helps
some. I estimate its' size at one arc minute. |
