Hi Jens, ... Yes, I did use this feature when checking for possible ID's, but maybe the NED database has been added upon since that time (spring 2003). ... ...

Well, I have seen it in my 10 inch (looks like a small sort of truncated edge-on galaxy), but it isn't exactly bright by any means. I think the object is a...
Hi John, Thank you for clearing up some of the objects. ... BFS 59 is the nebula a few arc minutes north of this small nebula. ... The cluster is NGC 7423. The...
... That's pretty impressive. I was thinking it might be visible in a 12 inch. ... But you're not taking into account the variable nature of the object. In...
This month the feature article is about Gyulbudaghian's Nebula. This variable nebula is brighter than it has been in many years. Deep Sky Observing ideas "In...
... According to my log, it was November 7th, of last year. I described it as 'marginal' and like a sort of "blunted" edge-on spiral galaxy. -- David W....

Looking at nothing more than a set of photographs taken through the years, it appears that this variable nebula is brightest when it assumes the "edge-on...
Hi Tom, ... My observations of this year and the last are that it appeared fan shaped. It was brighter last year than previous and much brighter this year....

"Seeing in the Dark" says that the periods during which Saturn's satellites transit last four years, not that they occur at four-year intervals. Yours, Timothy...
