Hershel 400 Objects in Leo

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

2903	LEO	Sb	09 32.2	+21 29	10.0	13.3'X6.0'	H I 56	is one of the best non-Messier galaxies. It is easy in 10x50 binocs or a large finder scope. At 175X in the 12.5" f/6 this galaxy is bright and is mottled across the face with a much brighter core. There is a bright spot about 4 arc minutes from the core.
2964	LEO	Sc	09 42.9	+31 51	12.5	3.5'X1.9'	H I 114	Pretty bright, pretty large, much brighter middle with an occaisonally stellar nucleus, elongated 1.5 X 1 in PA 90
3190	LEO	Sb	10 18.1	+21 50	11.9	4.5'X1.7'	H II 44	Pretty bright, pretty large, much brighter middle, Elongated 2 X 1 in PA 135 at 135X. Extremely faint, small and round companion to the NW (NGC 3187).
3193	LEO	E0	10 18.4	+21 54	12.4	2.5'X2.5'	H II 45	Pretty bright, pretty small, round, much brighter middle with an occaisonally stellar nucleus, a 10th mag star is on the North side at 135X.
3226	LEO	GALXY	10 23.4	+19 53	13.3	2.5'X2.2'	H II 28	form a pair 50' east of Gamma Leo. 3227 is pretty bright, considerably elongated and has a pretty bright nucleus that is almost stellar. 3226 is pretty bright, round and has a bright core. These observations are with a 12.5" f/6 at 160X. What is weird about these two galaxies is that they appear to overlap each other even at high powers! The round galaxy is at one end of the elongated galaxy and it looks like a club with a knot at one end. Don't take my word for it, go look for yourself.
3227	LEO	Sa	10 23.5	+19 52	12.2	6.5'X4.5'	H II 29	form a pair 50' east of Gamma Leo. 3227 is pretty bright, considerably elongated and has a pretty bright nucleus that is almost stellar. 3226 is pretty bright, round and has a bright core. These observations are with a 12.5" f/6 at 160X. What is weird about these two galaxies is that they appear to overlap each other even at high powers! The round galaxy is at one end of the elongated galaxy and it looks like a club with a knot at one end. Don't take my word for it, go look for yourself.
3377	LEO	GALXY	10 47.7	+13 59	10.7	4.0'X2.5'	H II 99	Bright, pretty large, much brighter middle with a bright, stellar nucleus, elongated 1.5 X 1 in PA 30. This nice galaxy is a little mottled in the outer sections at 135X.
3379	LEO	E1	10 47.8	+12 35	9.6	3.8'X3.8'	H I 17	(M-105) Bright, large, little elongated, very bright middle, stellar nucleus, two companions in the field at 100X.
3384	LEO	E7	10 48.3	+12 38	10.0	5.4'X2.8'	H I 18	Pretty faint, large, somewhat elongated and not much brighter in the middle, rather mushy at 100X.
3412	LEO	GALXY	10 50.9	+13 25	10.8	3.3'X1.9'	H I 27	Bright, pretty large, elongated 2.5 X 1 in PA 135, very bright in the middle with stellar nucleus at 135X. This galaxy is somewhat mottled.
3489	LEO	GALXY	11 00.3	+13 54	10.9	3.2'X1.9'	H II 101	Pretty bright, pretty large, elongated 3 X 1 in PA 75, much brighter in the middle with a stellar nucleus at 135X, averted vision makes this galaxy grow in size.
3521	LEO	GALXY	11 05.8	-00 02	10.1	13.5'X7.0'	H I 13	Bright, Large, elongated 2.5 X 1 in PA 135 and brighter in the middle at 100X. Looks like a mini-Andromeda galaxy.
3593	LEO	GALXY	11 14.6	+12 49	11.8	5.2'X2.1'	H I 29	is pretty bright, pretty large, elongated and has a much brighter middle. What is bizarre about this galaxy is that at 200X in the 12.5", the core is elongated 2X1. I don't remember seeing an elongated nucleus in a galaxy before.
3607	LEO	GALXY	11 16.9	+18 03	10.2	4.5'X4.0'	H II 50	Pretty bright, pretty large, round, much brighter in the middle with a stellar nucleus, somewhat mottled at 135X. Located in a group of three.
3608	LEO	GALXY	11 17.0	+18 09	11.7	3.0'X2.5'	H II 51	Pretty bright, pretty large, round, bright middle at 100X. There are two companions in the 30 arc min field of view.
3626	LEO	GALXY	11 20.1	+18 21	11.2	2.8'X2.0'	H II 52	Pretty bright, small, elongated 2.5 X 1 in PA 165, much brighter in the middle with an almost stellar nucleus at 135X.
3628	LEO	GALXY	11 20.3	+13 36	11.5	15.5'X4.3'	H V 8	Pretty bright, large, somewhat brighter in the middle, very much elongated in PA 90 with a hint of a dark lane at 165X.
3640	LEO	GALXY	11 21.1	+03 14	11.8	4.5'X4.0'	H II 33	Pretty bright, pretty large, little elongated 1.5 X 1 in PA 90, much brighter in the middle at 135X. There is a very faint, small, round companion (NGC 3641) which can be seen with averted vision only.
3655	LEO	GALXY	11 22.9	+16 35	11.6	1.6'X1.0'	H I 5	Pretty bright, small, little elongated 1.2 X 1 in PA 30, brighter in the middle, this galaxy is not much at 135X.
3686	LEO	GALXY	11 27.7	+17 13	11.6	3.1'X2.5'	H II 160	Pretty faint, pretty large, somewhat brighter in the middle, little elongated 1.5 X 1 in PA 0 at 135X. There is a similar galaxy in the field to the south.
3810	LEO	GALXY	11 41.0	+11 28	11.4	4.1'X2.8'	H I 21	Pretty bright, pretty large, brighter in the middle, elongated 1.8 X 1 in PA 30 at 135X.
3900	LEO	GALXY	11 49.2	+27 01	12.5	3.2'X1.6'	H I 82	Pretty faint, pretty large, little elongated 1.2 X 1 in PA 0, brighter middle, averted vision helps the contrast of this object quite a bit at 135X.
3912	LEO	GALXY	11 50.1	+26 29	13.2	1.8'X1.0'	H II 342	Faint, pretty small, round, a little brighter in the middle, this galaxy is not much at 135X.
