Location | Instrument | Eyepiece | Filter | Notes |
NGC5315 | 13:53.9 | -66 31 | Planetary Nebula | 9.8 | 5" | 9KLY | June 14 2018 | Culburra |
400mm f4.5 Dobsonian | 26mmDX; 13.8mmSWA; 9mmNagler | UHC | At low power hard to pick without the UHC. With the filter there are two bright stars
in the field and one of them dulls considerably with the UHC. Higher magnification make the nebula more disc-like but no detail. Round. |
NGC5315 | 13:53.9 | -66 31 | Planetary Nebula | 9.8 | 5" | 9KLY | May 7 2019 | Culburra |
400mm f4.5 Dobsonian | 9mmNagler | UHC | Maybe it was a case of better conditions, but compared to the June 2018 observation at the same place
using the same equipment, this time the object was a solid disc with faint halo. |
NGC5823 | 15:05.7 | -55 36 | Open Cluster | 7.9 | 10.0' | 2.3KLY | May 6 2000 | Cataract |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPlossl | | Two horseshoe-shaped groups of stars seemingly entwined. |
