Hershel 400 Objects in Gemini
| 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

H VI 17 |
Pretty bright, pretty small, very compressed,
arrowhead shape. I counted 12 stars and saw a very grainy backround
at 165X on a night I rated 7/10. |

H VI 2 |
Faint, pretty small, somewhat compressed, not
much at 100X. I counted 11 stars in a 5 arcmin area, shaped like a
comma or Corona Borealis cluster. |

H VI 6 |
Pretty bright, pretty large, much compressed
at 100X. Just seen in 11 X 80 finderscope. I counted 80 stars with
a bright yellow star near the center of this cluster. |

74"X54" |
H II 316 |
Bright, pretty large, box shaped at 100X. High
power shows much structure. The southeast end in much brighter and
the central star is seen at 220X. This planetary is grey in color
at all powers. |
| 2372 |

H II 317 |
Bright, pretty large, box shaped at 100X. High
power shows much structure. The southeast end in much brighter and
the central star is seen at 220X. This planetary is grey in color
at all powers. |

H IV 45 |
Bright, large, round and somewhat annular at
100X. The central star is easy and this planetary is light green at
all powers. The "Eskimo" features are seen at 220X and are
somewhat better at 320X on a night I rated 8/10 for seeing and contrast. |

H VI 1 |
Pretty bright, pretty large, somewhat compressed,
30 stars at 135X. Several nice star chains on involved with an "oatmeal"
backround of fainter stars. |
