Thanks for these. Matching the image, co-ords on the website and cursor RA and Dec on a chart from SkyMap Pro I can account for all the 5 brighter HII regions...
Thanks for posting the excellent observing report, David. ... I'm curious if others have looked this object. I recorded it as quite small (certainly less than...
Following up on David Knisely's recent post, here are notes on another 10 planetaries which I observed last weekend from a dark site south of Hollister,...

Hi! I observed Gyulbudaghian's Nebula last year when it was pretty easy and bright object at 16" dobson, as was PV Cep (12 mag) too. The sketch and a short...
The planetary nebula GJJC 1 (IRAS 18333-2357) in the globular cluster M22 is regarded as a challenge object for visual observers (see Doug Snyder's website:...
... I recall your review even after all of these years. Do you know if the Carnegie Atlas remains the definitive visual compendium or, by now, has something...
... For the objects they cover I don't think there's anything comparable in the digital realm, and particularly nothing as far as the text of the works goes....

Cliff, I've just gotten around to filing a backlog of notes, which include an observation of NGC 7423 with a 10-inch scope. At 115x: hazy patch ~2' nestled in...
This seems to be not a planetary nebula, but a large-amplitude red variable star. It looks to me as though the faint merged pair near the position on the red...
