Hello All, Does anyone know the designations of the two emission nebulae at the northern end of Barnard's Galaxy, NGC 6822? See the black&white photo on page...
Alan, ... The two nebulae at the N end are Hubble X (H X) to the E and Hubble V (H V) to the W. The group of three fainter nebulae are H I, H II and H III. ...
As far as designations, IC 1308 = Hubble X was discovered by Frank Leavenworth with a 26-inch refractor (Publications of the Leander- McCormick Observatory,...

Probably the reason the pair is not included in ordinary double-star catalogues is because they are so far apart, about 85". At mag 8.5 or so, the usual limit...

Greetings: I'm waaaayyyy behind in my e-mail, so I apologize if this has been gone over already. "I am hoping that Chuck Wood's columns will be next." Such a...
John, I've looked at Sh2-264 with my 105mm scope. My notes are unusually terse and merely say that it was very large and faintly visible with an OIII filter...
Hmm... while I can definately say that the view of this nebula using the OIII was far better than unfiltered, but H-beta far and away seemed to provide the...
John, I'll give an H-beta a try sometime on the scope. I have never been able to hold a filter up to my eye and see anything but reflections. Clear skies,...
