| 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 |
VI = Very Compressed and Rich Clusters

6.8'X5.0' |
H I 34 |
Bright, Large, elongated 2.5 X 1 in PA 135.
Has a very bright middle and an almost stellar nucleus at 135X. Averted
vision increases the size of galaxy quite a bit and also shows off
some beautiful mottling in the outer arm regions. |

H VI 9 |
Pretty bright, large, little elongated 1.5 X
1 in PA 15, somewhat like a heart shape, pretty rich and compressed
at 165X. 28 stars counted on a night I rated 7/10 for seeing. Even
though this globular has a bright core, it is still a pretty low surface
brightness object, kind of like Omega Centauri in a 2". |

H I 189 |
Pretty bright, pretty large, much elongated
3X1 in PA 45 and brighter in the middle at 100X. Going to 165X will
show off a stellar nucleus and some nice mottling on a sharp night. |

H I 188 |
Pretty bright, pretty large, much elongated
3 X 1 in PA 90 and much brighter in the middle at 100X. NGC 5693 is
to the south and it is faint, small, round and not brighter in the
middle. |
