Hershel 400 Objects in Hydra

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

2548	HYA	OPNCL	08 13.8	-05 48	5.8	54.0'	H VI 22	M48? Somewhat scattered, Very Bright, can be seen naked eye, 12 stars are resolved in 8X50 finder, many chains of stars, little compressed, 7 's near center form an arch or boomerang shape. One 9 mag orange at 60X.
2811	HYA	Sb	09 16.3	-16 18	13.0	2.7'	H II 502	pretty Bright, very Elongated, much brighter middle at 100X. faint * in following arm
3242	HYA	PLNNB	10 24.8	-18 38	8.6	40"X35"	H IV 27	Wow, Looks like CBS eye, greenish at all powers, Central star easy at 300X. Very bright, large, round. AT 650X on a night I rated 8/10 for seeing, there is a small, dark circular area around the central star. A very nice planetary with lots of internal detail at high power.
3621	HYA	GALXY	11 18.3	-32 49	9.9	10'X6.5'	H I 241	Bright, Large, elongated, much brighter in the middle, seen in finder and 10x50 binocs, nice
5694	HYA	GLOCL	14 39.6	-26 32	10.2	3.6'	H II 196	Pretty bright, pretty large, Round, brighter in the middle; 165X and 320X, very grainy, no resolution on a night I rated 5/10. At a much better site on an evening I rated 8/10 the 17.5" would show 6 stars superimposed on a hazy outer corona.
