Hershel 400 Objects in Delphinus

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 of Stars	VIII = Coarsely Scattered Clusters of Stars


NGC_#	Con	Type	RA_2000	Declination	Mag	Size	Hershel_#	Observation Notes
6905	DEL	PLNNB	20 22.4	+20 06	12.0	44"X38"	H IV 16	Bright, pretty large, elongated 1.5 X 1, central star easy at 100X. Moving up to 270X with a Barlow lens reveals that the east and west sides are brighter than the rest of the nebula. This planetary is pale green at all powers. I have heard NGC 6905 called the "Blue flash nebula" but I have never seen blue in this object.
6934	DEL	GLOCL	20 34.2	+07 24	8.9	2'	H I 103	Bright, pretty large, much compressed, round and has a brighter middle at 100X. It can be seen in the 11 X 80 finder or 10 X 50 binoculars. This is the type of object that responds with a much better view on a clear, transparent night. On a night I rated 6/10 for seeing and transparency, down on the floor on the desert near the Organ Pipe Cactus National Forest, I could only resolve 3 stars with a mottled core at 160X. At the same power on a beautiful night in the Red Rock country near Sedona at 5000 ft., this globular blazed with 40 stars resolved, 6 of them in the core area. This is the kind of observation to postpone until those rare 9/10 evenings when stars twinkle very little and the Milky Way blazes overhead.
7006	DEL	GLOCL	21 01.5	+16 11	10.6	2.8'	H I 52	Pretty bright, pretty small, round, very bright middle and very compressed at 100X. This very distant globular is one of the most mottled objects I have ever seen in the 13" at 180X. This extremely grainy globular has only shown me stars on its' face one time. Using my old 18" f/6 at 210X, I saw 3 stars superimposed on the surface of NGC 7006. One was held steady, the other two appeared and disappeared with the seeing. This was on a night I rated 8/10 for transparency and 7/10 for seeing.
