H IV 53 |
Bright, Large, round at 165X. The central star
comes and goes at lower powers but is held steady at 270X. This planetary
is a light blue disk at all powers. There are some dark markings within
the disk, somewhat like the Eskimo Nebula in Gemini. |

H VII 47 |
Bright, large, and pretty rich at 100X. There
are 27 stars counted in the cluster with several bright pairs and
a nice blue and gold double on the north east side. This somewhat
scattered open cluster is easy in the 11X80 finder. |

H V 44 |
Bright, large and elongated 1.5X1 in PA 135
degrees at 135X. This object is bright enough to be seen with the
11X80 finderscope. There are several stars involved with faint spiral
structure in the outer sections in this lovely galaxy. The middle
is gradually much brighter. From the darkest sites, the spiral arms
of this galaxy shimmer and sparkle with mottling. |
