18" (7/18/04): at 250x, appeared very faint, very small, round, ~0.5' diameter. With direct vision, this globular is weakly concentrated to a faint quasi-stellar or stellar core. Visible continuously without much effort, though very unimipressive as a globular.

17.5" (6/30/00): at 280x this small low surface brightness globular appeared very faint, round, ~30" diameter but visible with direct vision. Appears to have an extremely faint knot at the south edge and a slight central brightening.

17.5" (7/27/95): very faint, round patch, ~1' diameter. Appears similar to a 15th magnitude galaxy with no hints of resolution or central concentration. Can hold steadily with averted vision. Located 5.8' W of a mag 11.5 star. Discovered to be a globular in 1996.

18" (7/13/07): Both portions of the "Butterfly Nebula" were easily visible at 12.5x in my 80mm finder using an H-beta filter and were an amazing sight in the 18-inch at 73x using both H-beta and UHC filters as they stretched across the entire 67' field of field and separated by a wide dark lane (LDN 889).
IC 1318d (centered ~1¡ E of Gamma Cyg) passes through two 7th magnitude stars (HD 194789 and HD 194908) and is very prominent near these stars. This swath of nebulosity courses mainly SW and NE from these stars. To the west of the bright stars, the nebula is bifurcated into two forks by a dark lane. To the N and NE of the stars, the nebulosity spreads out wider and is interspersed with darker regions. Overall the surface brightness of this section is fairly high but varies quite a bit in intensity and is slightly brighter on the following side of the NE end where it contrasts with the wide dust lane that separates IC 1318e to the SE.

IC 1318e is situated roughly 35' SE of IC 1318d on the opposite side of dark nebula LDN 889. This bright section passes through several wide double stars and gently curves as it sweeps from SW to NE. The overall length is at least 35'x10' (not as wide as on photographs but nearly as long). One or two darker spots or regions lie within the nebulosity although it appears as a single continuous piece without as much structure as IC 1318d.

IC 1318b is possibly the brightest piece of the IC 1318 complex and is located ~2¡ NW of Gamma Cyg (Sadr. At 73x and either H-beta or UHC filter, it appeared very extended SW-NE or WSW-ENE, roughly 40'x8' and passes through a mag 8 star. This section was easily visible at 12.5x in the 80mm finder using a H-beta filter. The brightest portion is to the NE of the mag 8 star and a number of similar mag stars are involved with this portion. Removing the filter, this section was still visible though the highest contrast was using a UHC filter. To the SW of the star, this river of nebulosity takes a mild bend and flows more towards the south. Another fainter section of nebulosity (not included in the size estimate) spreads out to the NNW of the mag 8 star.

12.5x80mm (7/13/07): viewed in 80mm finder using an H-beta filter. The two roughly parallel brightest sections to the east of Gamma that form the "Butterfly Nebula" (IC 1318d and 1318e) were obvious as extremely large parallel strips oriented ~SW-NE and separated by a wide dark lane.

16x80 (8/23/84): extremely large complex of irregular emission nebulae surrounded Gamma Cygni (position given) with six sections visible at 16x using a UHC and H-beta filters. Overfills the 4¡ finder field! The most prominent section is an isolated patch NW of Gamma at the edge of the field (IC 1318b = Ced 176c = LBN 251 = DWB 82) and next are two parallel strips just E (IC 1318d = LBN 249) and SE of Gamma (IC 1318e = LBN 245) which have fairly sharp edges.

18" (8/14/07): I began this observation with a look at open cluster Cr 419 which surrounds ·2666, a bright double with mag 6/8.5 components at 2.7". This "cluster" is involved with a section of the Gamma Cygni complex (IC 1318c) and the surrounding field is very patchy with darker and brighter regions (dust and nebulosity) at 73x. At 225x, this 5'-6' group also includes ~3 dozen stars that generally appear to radiate outwards in strings from the bright double.

A darker annulus appears to nearly surround the cluster except off the east side where the field is weakly luminous unfiltered. Adding a UHC filter increases the contrast in the field and the cluster is clearly encased in a hazy glow (though the cluster stars may be contributed to this appearance) that extends to the east in a fan shape, spreading out to the SE and NE. Fainter haze also extends to the west of the cluster for a shorter distance. When I let the field drift, I realized that nebulosity extended ~30' SE from Cr 419, much further then I initially noticed.

About 25' away is also a pretty double star whose components are aligned with the triple star. The surrounding 1¡ field contains a scattered cluster of brighter stars which are fairly uniformly distributed.

In the 16x80 finder without a filter, the entire cluster is clearly encased in a faint glow at least two degrees in diameter which seems to be more prominent along the curving lanes of the cluster. The Daystar 300 filter gives a mild enhancement but dims the stars so the overall view is not as pleasing. Mu Cephei (Herschel's Garnet Star) is at the NE edge, ~1.5¡ from the center.

At 225x using the NPB filter, IC 1454 appeared round, ~25-30" in diameter with an impression of an irregular surface brightness. The rim sometimes appeared slightly brighter with a weaker center giving a very subtle annularity.

Visible unfiltered at 160x; a couple of mag 14/15 stars are barely off the NE edge of the planetary and a 13th magnitude star lies 1' SE. Good contrast gain with OIII filter. The disc is perfectly round, ~25" diameter with a very crisp edge. The surface brightness appeared a bit irregular but could not verify annularity at this power.

18" (12/3/05): I had forgotten about the observation of this galaxy two months ago and assumed it was part of the N524 group. But with a redshift of z = .048 compared to 0.008, this galaxy lies six times further away in the heart of AGC 193 and Shk 40! At 225x it appeared faint to fairly fairly, small, irregular round, slightly brighter core. The core or a stellar knot seemed offset to one side (double galaxy). A mag 12 star is less than 1' NW. This description is quite similar to the one two months back.

18" (10/8/05): The brightest member of AGC 193 and Shakhbazian 40 appeared faint, small, irregularly round. Situated just 43" SE of a mag 13 star. In moments of better seeing this galaxy appeared double with an extremely faint knot or extension to the NE of the core of the main galaxy. The next day I checked the DSS and this observation matches the image! This distant cluster has a redshift of z = .048 which corresponds to a distance of over 700 million light years. The only other member seen was UGC 967, located 7.5' NW.

18" (10/13/07): NGC 896 and IC 1795 form a bright, detailed HII region at the NW corner of the huge IC 1805 HII ring ("Heart Nebula"). This complex is split into three or 4 distinct sections by dust lanes (LDN 1359). The largest section is IC 1795, which extends mostly north of a mag 10 star for ~8'. To the west of the mag 10 star is a dust lane oriented NW-SE and beyond this lane to the west is a small, moderatly high surface brightness patch (NGC 896) of 2' diameter. To the east of the star is another broad dust lane extending N-S and following this lane is a fainter wash of nebulosity that streams to the north for over 15' in length. It passes through mag 9 SAO 12287 and just north of this star the nebulosity has a small, brighter patch. Initially, I thought the complex ended here on the NE side, but then additional fainter nebulosity was noticed spreading out to the west for several arc minutes increasing the total size to 15'-20' for both N-S and E-W directions.

17.5" (11/27/92): observation at 100x using an OIII filter. This is the northeastern section of a large emission complex with N896. Very large, about 10' diameter, roundish, fainter than N895 but still moderately bright. A mag 9.5 star is embedded at the SE edge and several fainter stars are superimposed. A small detached piece of nebulosity is visible about 10' N with a mag 11.5 off the south edge and several fainter stars are at the edges or superimposed.

18" (10/13/07): IC 1805 is a cluster (Cr 26 = Melotte 15 ) involved with a huge emission complex (LBN 654) dubbed the "Heart Nebula". The central cluster, Cr 26, was striking at 73x, consisting of a 20' scattered group of mag 8 and fainter stars (I estimated 17 stars mag 8-10.5). Embedded within the group is a smaller, fairly rich, 4'x2.5' oval ring with over three dozen stars. Most of the stars are located along the irregular ring, itself, and not in the interior. On the SW side is the brightest member, mag 8 HD 15558, which has a mag 10.5 companion at 10" separation (ADS 1920). The central clustering is richest around this HD star with 9 or 10 stars in total packed into a 1.6' region.

Adding an OIII filter, the cluster was encased in a fairly bright, irregular glow, ~12-15' in diameter and extending mostly to the east of the cluster. There appears to be dark lanes or obscuring dust involved as the surface brightness is irregular with brighter filaments within the glow. Fainter nebulosity extends to the east and then abruptly bifurcates into two branches, one heading NE and the other SE. There's a sharp border to the nebulosity at the split as the sky directly east immediately darkens, adding to the contrast.

Following the stream of nebulosity to the NE, it extends roughly 20' in that direction but then curves back sharply towards the west where it meanders for 30'-40', ending about 30' N of the cluster. Only 20' E of the bend at the NE corner is a fairly large open cluster, NGC 1027, but I didn't want to get sidetracked.

The southern river of nebulosity can be followed around in a huge loop. First it gently curves to the south or SSE for ~40' and then loops back sharply towards the west (this band forms the southern boundary of the Heart) for at least 40', heading towards a distinctive N-S string of 5 stars with a length of 6'. This group is catalogued as Markarian 6 = Stock 7. At the south end of Mrk 6 are two doubles, ·264 = 8.6/9.8 at 17" and a mag 10/11 pair at 17".

At this point, the rim bends to the north and brightens noticeably in a 10' patch. It dims and continues on further to the north, passing about 25' W of the cluster and fades out pretty close to NGC 896, a nearly isolated bright patch to the NW of the main structure.

At this point, I had traced around the entire outline of the "Heart Nebula" visible on wide-field images, scanning over a degree and a half from north to south and perhaps 1.25¡ in extent from west to east. The entire outline, including the weaker interior glow, was also visible at 12.5x in my 80mm finder using an OIII filter, although without the detail visible in the main scope.

NGC 896 and IC 1795 are parts of a fairly bright, detailed region at the NW corner of this huge ring. The complex appears split into three or 4 distinct sections by dust lanes (LDN 1359). The largest section is IC 1795, which extends mostly north of a mag 10 star for ~8'. To the west of the mag 10 star is a dust lane oriented NW-SE and beyond this lane to the west is a small, moderately high surface brightness glow (NGC 896) of 2' diameter. To the east of the star is another broad dust lane extending N-S and east of this lane is a fainter wash of nebulosity that streams to the north for over 15' in length. It passes through mag 9 SAO 12287 and just north of this star the nebulosity has another small, brighter patch. Initially, I thought the complex ended here on the NE side, but additional fainter nebulosity was noticed spreading out to the west, increasing the total size to 15'-20' for both N-S and E-W directions.

Comparing my descriptions to the MegaStar outline, I noticed that the cluster Mrk 6 (perhaps it's an asterism) is not plotted, although the brighter stars are, of course. Secondly, the outline shows a large gap between the NW end of the Heart and NGC 896. Visually, it appeared the Heart Nebula extended closer to 896. Finally, I picked up additional nebulosity to the north of NGC 896 not shown on MegaStar.

17.5" (11/27/92): about 125 stars forming a bright, very large 40' field at 100x. In the center is an oval ring consisting of about 30 stars within a 4'-5' diameter including a bright 8th magnitude multiple star (Stein 368). The brighter stars in the outer region form a rough incomplete circular outline. Using 100x with an OIII filter, the associated nebulosity (LBN 654) is clearly entwined within a large portion of the cluster.

18" (10/13/07): I only took a fairly quick look at this huge HII region ("Soul Nebula" or "Baby Nebula") at the end of the evening after a long examination of IC 1705 ("Heart Nebula"). In comparison, portions of this object clearly have a higher surface brightness using an OIII filter at 73x. Near the center is an E-W elongated, scattered group of stars (Cr 32), ~10'x4' in size. On the west end are two mag 7/8.3 with a number of fainter stars huddled nearby. About 60' to the ENE is another larger, scattered group (Cr 34). Weak nebulosity is evident throughout the field without a filter.

Adding an OIII filter greatly increases the contrast and nebulosity is fairly prominent in several different sections. About 20' E of the Cr 32 is a brighter, elongated patch. To the east of this patch is a dark lane or intrusion and on the eastern side is a brighter, 10' circular glow (IC 1871) with an irregular outline. IC 1871 is located roughly 45' ENE of Cr 32. This patch is irregular in surface brightness with brighter streaks. A larger region spreads out to the east of the cluster increasing the total length to over 1.5 degrees. I also noticed brighter regions of nebulosity to the west of Cr 32, but didn't take notes on this area or try to follow the entire outline of the complex.

17.5" (10/2/99): at 100x, this large but weak grouping is dominated by a 2' pair of mag 7/8 stars which are both surrounded by several close, faint companions. The surrounding one degree field is undistinguished but it appears weakly concentrated around the bright pair. Faint nebulosity is visible in portions of the field. At 220x, the view is striking with ~12 stars huddled around the southern mag 9 star including a nice pair of mag 12 stars nearly collinear and equally spaced. The brighter mag 7 star (·306) is surrounded by 8-10 companions. The 20' field is fairly rich but scattered with a matched pair of mag 9 stars ~10' N.

Using a UHC filter at 100x, the field is immersed in a very large, faint nebulosity about a degree in length, elongated E-W. A large, bright region elongated N-S is at the E end, ~35 following the core, and seems detached from the main cloud. It surrounds a weak scattered group (Cr 34) which is void of stars in the center. The main body of nebulosity has a sharper border and is generally brighter to the north of the core and fades into the background on the south side. The outline is interesting on the north side with irregular extensions and bulges. A small brighter circular patch stands out at the west end about 10' W of the core.
