Jens The information I've gathered puts "Hodge's Object" at 36 arc seconds -- obviously, a complex of clusters and nebulae. Somewhere along the way, I found...
Hi Dave, I wrote an article about this object (in german, avaliable at http://www.jens-bohle.de/html/kopiev_1.HTM) . These references are useful: [7] Hodge,...

John, and all: I've spent some fair amount of time with UCAC2 now (my set arrived on Wednesday), and find it no more difficult or easy to work with than UCAC1....
It appears from discussion going on concurrently on the variable-star lists that, at least for _photometry_, the ASAS3 data appear to be reliable down to V ~13...

Hi. I was wondering if anyone has any descriptions / sketches of observations of this dark nebula. I'm not sure if I really observed it or not. I was using...
Hi All, Concerning the dark nebula B111, I observed it, two years ago, from my country house, in the southern French Alps. My purpose was to list all the DSO...

Has anyone managed to see this nebulosity surrounding Stock 23? It doesn't look like much on the DSS, but I've been trying anyway. Clear skies, Sue...
Hi All, I posted this on the starrynights message board Monday. "I spent some time on the Pleiades Sunday morning and could swear that I saw some reflection...

Howdy folks; Here is an observation with my old 6 incher from a good, but not great location. I love looking at the Pleiades in an RFT. 6" f/6 at Buckeye 7/10...
I have seen the Pleiades nebulosity in a 5" f/5 Jaegers refractor, as well an old 6" f/5 Celestron Newtonian. Both provided an easy view of the Merope ...
Mike, From one of our Arizona dark sites, I saw the nebulosity in my 92mm AP Stowaway. This was confirmed by several others that night. To me it looked like...
Mike, I've sketched the Pleiades as seen through my 4.1-inch Traveler. The sketch is posted at http://home.nycap.rr.com/safrench/astronomy.html You can see...

I've observed the nebulae around Messier 45 thru my 80mm Refractor (several times I might add). This requires generally about 5.5+ skies and low magnification....
I wouldn't call it fake, or necessarily seeing what we want to see. I think people's sensitivity to different wavelengths vary. Take the Blue Snowball for...
I forgot another example. Red Flashlights. I use a Rigel systems red LED light. On the lowest setting, it is too dim for me to read my star charts. If I...
