18" (7/24/06): this small globular was viewed at 435x and 565x and it appeared very mottled and lively in excellent seeing. Two or three very faint stars were visible pretty steadily and a number of extremely faint mag 16 stars appeared to sharpen up and momentarily sparkle, particularly in the 1.5' to 2' halo. Perhaps a dozen stars total sparkle or pop in and out of view.

17.5" (8/5/94): moderately bright, small, 1.5' diameter containing a 1' core and a small halo. The core has a broad weak concentration with no nucleus. The halo is mottled but difficult to achieve clear resolution. Around the edges of the halo four or five mag 15.5 stars or fainter pop in and out of view. The easiest resolved star is just at the north edge of the halo, a close pair is at the east edge and a single star is at the SE side. An easy pair of mag 14 foreground stars at 20" separation is off the south side 1.6' from the center. The interacting system UGC 11672 lies 43' E.

18" (9/10/07): The "Fetus Nebula" is a fascinating annular planetary and best viewed at high power. Using 452x the oval halo is elongated SSW-NNE, ~85"x65". Most striking is a bright, 25" knot on the NNE end that is irregular in surface brightness with a very small brighter condensation near its south end. The SW quadrant of the planetary is also brighter in an elongated region and it is weakest on the E and SE edge facing the wide double star. In the darker center a mag 13.5 central star is visible and a second fainter mag 14 star is near the NE edge. Also another mag 14 star is just off the west edge. N7008 is situated just north of a mag 9.3/10.2 double (h1606) at 18" oriented N-S. It was faintly visible in the 80mm finder at 25x using an OIII filter.

17.5" (6/28/00): this beautiful, highly structured PN is situated just north of a wide double star (9.2/10.5 at 18"). At 280x, the annular oval is elongated SSW-NNE, ~90"x65". A bright 30" irregular knot is prominent at the NE end. The SW end of the major axis has a fainter condensation and the rim is clearly dimmest near the double star. The mag 14 central star shines steadily as does a slightly fainter mag 14.5 on the NE edge. Just off the west edge is another 14th magnitude star. The darker center is faintly luminous and the surface brightness is irregular over the entire oval giving a mottled, wispy appearance.

13" (9/11/82): bright planetary with unusual structure and several stars involved. The striking complete annular ring is elongated SW-NE. A mag 14 central star mag is visible as well as a mag 14 star at the NE edge and a faint star is off the W edge. A small brighter knot marks the ENE end. The planetary is located just N of h1606 = 9.3/10.5 at 18" separation.

The 30" brighter inner oval is elongated WSW-ENE and has a noticeable irregular surface brightness (first time this was noted) with a brighter, thick rim and darker center (partially annular). Surrounding the high surface oval is a fainter, outer shell although interestingly, the transition appeared more gradual than at lower power. The ansae were easily visible with very small knots marking the ends of the ansae at times.

18" (7/24/06): viewed at 160x, this detailed reflection nebula displayed a great deal of interesting structure! Surrounding the mag 7.4 illuminating star is a bright halo of nebulosity extending mostly north of the star and ending just south of the star in a well defined slightly curving border. A wide dark lane intrudes into the nebulosity from the southwest towards the bright star. To the south of the star is a triangular region of haze (brightest just south of the central star) roughly filling in the region defined by a mag 13.5 star 5.5' SSE and a fainter star a similar distance SW. Seemingly detached at the periphery is a larger section of faint haze on the east side of the nebula that is extended N-S (this is an outer "wing" on photographs) and a more vaguely defined region of low surface brightness haze detached on the western side (also oriented N-S). These two detached wings give a diameter of at least 7'.

17.5" (8/13/88): very prominent unusual nebulosity surrounding mag 7.4 SAO 19158. A dark lane oriented SSW-NNE is following the bright star. Nebulosity may extend to a star 3' SSE which has a halo.

18" (9/10/07): at 565x the "Cheeseburger Nebula' is easily resolved into two small, elongated knots oriented ~E-W and with both lobes slightly extended ~N-S. Both knots are lively or mottled and slightly tapered in shape. Both contain stellar nuclei or points near their centers with the western nucleus slightly easier. The eastern lobe is barely larger and brighter. The lobes are nearly tangent but just separated by a darker lane and both lobes are encased on a common halo. At 807x, the two lobes are clearly separated by a dark lane (the Cheeseburger's "patty") oriented SSW to NNE. A mag 10.5 star is off the NE side, less than 30" from the center. Located 13' NNW of mag 4.6 73 Cyg.

17.5" (7/9/99): fascinating object at 380x both with and without a UHC filter. The double-lobed structure is clearly visible with the western lobe slightly elongated N-S and containing a brighter center. The eastern knot also has a quasi-stellar center at moments using direct vision and the knot has an irregular outline. Using the UHC, the lobes are more cleanly separated and the small fainter halo that encases the two bright lobes is more obvious. A mag 11 star is just 0.5' NE of center. Located 12.5' NNW of mag 4.7 63 Cygni.

13" (9/3/83): at 333x appears fairly bright, very small, elongated WSW-ENE. Two brighter condensations at the opposite ends are possibly barely detached at the center. Forms a double at low power with a comparable mag 11 star 27" NE of center.

At 175x in the 18-inch, appears as a small, very high surface brightness oval with a blue-green color. At 450x, this planetary is elongated 3:2 NW-SE, ~18"x12" and has an unusual bipolar appearance with two lobes. The 10" NW component has a very high surface brightness and contains a quasi-stellar brighter knot on its west edge. A fainter lobe juts out towards the SE and is slightly smaller (~8"). At 565x the SE lobe seems incomplete as if it was partially obscured and two lobes are encased in a thin outer envelope. The view was fascinating at 807x with the sense of peering at a 3-dimensional object - the brighter NW lobe being closer and the partially overlapping SE lobe extending away in space. At this power both lobes were clearly irregular in shape and surface brightness.

17.5" (10/2/99): At 100x, the small greenish disc is very prominent but at higher powers appears bluish. Easily takes very high power and the view unfiltered at 380x and 500x was striking. Appears elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 0.3'x0.2', with two distinct lobes. The NW knot is slightly brighter and at times a stellar spot or star appears embedded at its SW tip. At 500x, the two knots are encased in a very small common halo which extends further out on the north side. The southern edge of both knots has a sharp, flat appearance.

13" (9/11/82): at 288x; small, bright, unusually high surface brightness, elongated NW-SE. There are two distinct overlapping nuclei and a narrow dark lane possibly separates these two condensations.

The RNGC positions are offset 2' S from the GSC 2000 positions given below:

N7065 21 26 42.4 -06 59 42 =M-01-54-017
N7065A 21 26 57.8 -07 01 18 =M-01-54-018

Coincidently, this causes the RNGC declination to actually match that of N7065A although the RNGC orientation is correct.

Dreyer attributed N7065 to both Marth (m440) and d'Arrest although he noted a slight discrepancy in their position. He decided to use d'Arrest's position in NGC. Their positions for 2000 are:

m440 21 26 58 -07 02
d'A 21 26 45 -07 00.1

Comparing these positions with the GSC strongly suggests that while d'Arrest observed the galaxy identified as N7065, Marth actually recorded the companion galaxy N7065A! Both of these faint galaxies were visible in my 17.5" and neither was significantly more prominent. So, it is possible that N7065A = M-01-54-018 should have been included by Dreyer as a separate entry from Marth.

The RNGC positions for N7065/7065A are 2' too far S and listed in RNGC Corrections #4.

18" (10/8/05): this "nonexistent cluster" is located in a glorious low power Milky Way field. Several groupings (both large and small) caught my eye at 73x (67' field), but I was mostly drawn to a fairly distinctive 4' string of stars oriented NW-SE. At 225x, ~15 stars were packed into the string, most stars being mag 13-14 with a few fainter stars, and possibly over unresolved Milky Way background glow. This group would have likely caught John Herschel's eye as he swept the region, though it may be an asterism (not in Lynga).

18" (10/9/04): picked up at 73x (31 Nagler) as a fairly small (for an Abell planetary), fairly faint disc, perhaps 35"-40" in diameter. Appears evenly illuminated at low power. Viewed unfiltered at 160x and a couple of faint stars are embedded, one at the east edge and another at the north. Only a weak contrast gain using the OIII filter and easier to view unfiltered at 225x. At this power the shape appears irregular and brighter along the east side. Neither of the two stars appear to be the central star as they're situated near the edge of the halo. A number of 13-15th magnitude stars are in the field including a couple of 14th mag stars 1' and 2' N and a small, fainter trio close west. Located 56' ENE of mag 2.5 Alpha Cephei (Alderamin).

17.5" (7/5/86): fairly faint at 79x using an OIII filter, slightly elongated, moderately large, estimate V = 13.5-13.8. Faintly visible unfiltered. At 222x two stars are superimposed; a faint star near the center (central star?) and one at the north edge. On line with two mag 14 stars 1' N and 2' N. Located 15' SE of mag 7.2 SAO 19386. Identified as Abell 75 in CGPN and ESO-Strausberg catalogues.

This object was first recorded by WH as III 936. His position was 7 min 54 sec following Alpha Cephei and 16' north. This places it at 21 26.5 +62 51 (2000). Just 2' N of this position is the planetary Abell 75 which was rediscovered by Abell but not associated with the NGC number. The ESO-Strausberg planetary catalogue also uses the Abell designation.

RNGC lists N7076 as a diffuse nebula instead of a planetary and furthermore the declination is 6' too far S. The ESO-Strausberg catalogue gives a precise 2000 position 21 26 24.1 +62 53 27. I found the equivalency N7076 = Abell 75 and listed it in the 3rd RNGC Corrections list.

Alvin Huey: 22" f/4.1 (155, 203 and 293x) - This is a slightly elongated (1.5:1) patch that has a brighter section that looks like a banana on the east edge. This is a considerably bright planetary with an estimated size of 60" x 40". This object shows best at 155 and 203x with an O-III filter.

Discovered by JH and placed at 21h 45.3m -81¡ 46' (1950). A few nights later h reobserved the galaxy and confirmed this position. Unfortunately, GC and NGC miscopied h's declination, apparently using the NPD of N7097 and placed N7095 at 21 35 48 -42 46.3 (1950)

Because of this error the RNGC has misidentified N7095 = E287-G42 at 21 34 58 -42 49.8 (1950) But precisely at h's original discovery position is E27-G001, although the ESO does not assign the NGC designation.

Surrounding the core is a large, fainter halo, elongated 3:2 SW-NE, ~2.0'x1.4'. This galaxy appears much brighter than N7095 which was just viewed, although the total B magnitudes are identical.

JH's RA was 1.8 tmin too far E. The RA in RC2 is 2.5 timin too large and this error is repeated in RNGC. This amounts to 10 arcmin at this declination. The correct position is given in ESO and RC3.

17.5" (8/17/01): viewed at 575x in excellent seeing. Very irregular appearance with strings of stars emanating from a irregular bright, partially resolved core. A prong off the W side heads NW with three equally spaced similar stars with a 4th star a close triple. Another bright line of three stars heads due north with a fainter bent elbow of stars angling towards the NE. Roughly a dozen stars trail to the east with a large gap towards the edge of the halo. A fairly well defined semi-circle of stars open to the north passes directly through the core and off the SE side. The outer halo is peppered with dozens of faint stars over a dim background haze and with concentration the overall diameter increases significantly to at least 10'.

17.5" (7/5/86): the small bright core is not resolved but the halo is well resolved into 50-60 stars. A small circular detached piece is E of the core with resolved stars. Along the N side the resolved stars are brighter and arranged in lanes.

13" (9/29/84): fascinating view at 350x; ~25 stars resolved in the outer halo. A few stars (half dozen) are bunched together near the bright, unresolved irregular core over a fainter diffuse halo.

The galaxy identified as N7108 in the RNGC is a virtually stellar galaxy surrounded by several faint stars and located over 20 arcmin following Marth's position and 12' ESE of N7111.

See observing notes for N7713.

Malcolm Thomson: N7112, N7113 were discovered by Swift in July 1886 and Marth in April 1863, respectively. Their discovery positions (precessed to 2000) and descriptions are as follows:

N7112 21 42 20 +12 34 47
eeF, S, R, pB* with dist companion close p; v diff.
N7113 21 42 27 +12 37
vF, S, stell

The RNGC and CGCG identify these numbers with the following two galaxies:
(R)N7112 21 42 22.9 +12 29 54
U11794 = M+02-55-010 = Z427-014

(R)N7113 21 42 26.7 +12 34 09
M+02-55-009 = Z427-016

MCG does not assign a NGC number to the first galaxy but identifies the second galaxy as N7112.

Marth's position for N7113 is 3' S of M+02-55-009 but is an exact match in RA. Swift's RA for N7112 matches M+02-55-010 although his declination would then be 5' off and actually matches N7113. Furthermore, his description "pB* with dist companion p" applies to N7113 as mag 8.7 SAO 107337 is located 1' preceding. This bright star also has a "distant companion", which is a mag 13 star 53" ENE. Finally, if Swift was not aware of Marth's discovery then he most likely recorded the brighter of the pair which is N7113. So, based on Swift's visual observation it appears likely that N7112 = N7113.

Forms the western vertex of an isosceles triangle with two bright stars - mag 8.8 HD 211111 3' NE and mag 8.9 HD 211121 3.5' E. To complete this striking arrangement, a fainter companion, N7233 is 1.9' E and is squeezed between N7232 and the mag 8.9 nearly due E. Observation made with a partially dewed secondary that probably dimmed both members.

13.1" (8/17/85): faint, elongated WNW-ESE, brighter core. Located just 3.0' SW of mag 8.5 SAO 231056 and 3.0' W of a mag 9.5 star. Brighter IC 5181 lies 26' SW. Very far south for viewing from the latitude of Northern California.

See observing notes for N7235.

Discovered by WH (VIII 63): "A S Cl of pL st." Reinmuth writes "no distinct cluster" and repeated in Carlson and RNGC. Described as 8 packed stars at 255X by Ling (similar to my visual observation). GSC shows two of the stars and the position of the brightest mag 14 star is 22 12 18.0 +57 03 12. This place is 4.5' N of the NGC position. Close to the NGC position is a pair of mag 12-13 stars but no surrounding stars. See NGCBUGS as Corwin shows that N7234 is a duplicate of N7235.

18" (8/17/04): at 225x, nearly three dozen stars are resolved in a 4'x3' group, slightly extended E-W. The brightest mag 9 star is at the east end. A rich stream of faint stars over haze is the north side and angling WSW towards a mag 10.5 star on the west end.

17.5" (11/2/91): two dozen stars mag 9-15 in a 4' diameter at 220x. This moderately concentrated group is elongated WNW-ESE and includes several fairly bright stars. A mag 9 star is at the east end and there are eight other mag 10-11 stars. Just west of the mag 9 star is a 1.5' circular hole with no stars. A mag 10 star at the extreme west edge has six faint stars mag 13/14 close following.

A compact group of faint stars 13' S appears as a small, partially resolved nebulous glow at 100x. At 220x, 7 stars are resolved from mag 14-15.5 within a 1.5' diameter. I had taken this as N7234 but Corwin's re-reduced position from William Herschel indicates that N7234 is identical to N7235.
