| NGC2298 | 06:49.0 | -36 00 | Globular Cluster | 9.4 | 6.8' | 40KLY | February 17 2001 | Cataract |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 9.7mmSP | | Strangely shaped. Irregular, possibly triangular. |
| NGC2422; M47 | 07:36.6 | -14 30 | Open Cluster | 4.4 | 30' | 1.8KLY | April 5 1997 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPl | | Very open but bright. Includes a close binary. |
| NGC2423 | 07:37.1 | -13 52 | Open Cluster | 6.7 | 19.0' | 2.8KLY | February 20 1999 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPl | | Large, loose and bright, although much fainter than the bright stars in nearby NGC2422/M47. |
| NGC2437; M46 | 07:41.8 | -14 49 | Open Cluster | 6.1 | 27' | 3.2KLY | April 5 1997 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPl | | Very rich cluster. Within it is NGC2438. |
| NGC2438 | 07:41.8 | -14 44 | Planetary Nebula | 10.8 | >66" | 2.9KLY | April 5 1997 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 6.3mmPl | UHC | Within NGC2437. Central star visible without filter. With the filter the nebula itself is more apparent |
| NGC2440; PK234+02.1 | 07:41.9 | -18 13 | Planetary Nebula | 9.4 | 14"x32" | 3.6KLY | February 20 1999 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 12.5mmOr | | Picked easily at low power, 115x gave best view, 225x a bit washed out. Forms an equilateral triangle with 2
bright field star, on of which is actually a small triangle of 3 close stars. Bright with an oval halo. Nice. |
| NGC2447;M93 | 07:44.6 | -23 52 | Open Cluster | 6.2 | 22' | 3.6KLY | April 18 1998 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 12.5mmOr | | Large cluster about 25' in diameter. Hard to pick in a rich field. A fan-shaped group of similarly bright
stars including a noticeable trapezium-shaped group. |
| NGC2451 | 07:45.4 | -37 58 | Open Cluster | 2.8 | 45.0' | 2KLY | December 11 1998 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPl | | Very loose and very bright. Bright orange-coloured star - the one you aim at - in the field. |
| NGC2452;PK243-01.1 | 07:47.4 | -27 20 | Planetary Nebula | 12.0 | >19" | 8.8KLY | April 14 2007 | Belanglo |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 13.8mmSWA | UHC | Obviously non-stellar with the UHC, lying a little S of the small clutch of stars which is NGC2453. The
nebula is a solid sisc, quite large and distinct compared with stars in the field. |
| NGC2453 | 07:47.8 | -27 14 | Open Cluster | 8.3 | 5' | 4.9KLY | April 14 2007 | Belanglo |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 13.8mmSWA | | See notes for NGC2452. |
| NGC2467 | 07:52.6 | -226 23 | Open Cluster and Nebula | 7.1p | 16' | 11KLY | April 18 1998 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPlossl/6.3mmPlossl | UHC | Couldn't pick the stars that make up the cluster but the nebula very prominent. Round, almost like a large
planetary illuminated by a bright star. Higher magnification shows that the nebula fans away from this star toward one side. The nebula sits between two stars. Areally nice object. |
| NGC2477 | 07:52.3 | -38 33 | Open Cluster | 5.8 | 27.0' | 4.2KLY | December 11 1998 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPl | | Faint stars but very condensed. A really good telescopic Open Cluster. |
| NGC2539 | 08:10.7 | -12 50 | Open Cluster | 6.5 | 22.0' | 4.2KLY | February 20 1999 | Mt Keira |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 26mmPl | | Aim at a fairly bright star and the cluster fills half the field of view. Rich. |
| NGC2546 | 08:12.4 | -37 38 | Open Cluster | 6.3 | 41.0' | 3.3KLY | May 3 2003 | Jerrara Dam |
250mm f5.6 Dobsonian | 32mmSWA | | Very large and loose. Hard to define. |
