Hershel 400 Objects in Lynx
| 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

4.1' |
H I 218 |
pretty bright, pretty large, round and much
brighter in the middle, it is easy at 100X. At any power up to 270X
at the best sights in Arizona there is no resolution in either my
13" or my old 17.5". The best I can do is get three levels
of condendsation across a very mottled face on the best of nights.
The brightest stars are something like 19th magnitude, so it may take
a 40 inch to resolve this distant cluster. I will send in a description
once A.J. and I get our one meter up and working. |
