Observations with 13 inch Newtonian:
NGC 6712 Cherry Rd. S=3D7, T=3D8 13" f/5.6 11X80-just seen as 5 arcmin =
fuzzy
spot. 100X-pretty bright, large, several stars resolved by mostly
a fuzz ball with 8 stars resolved, averted vision really makes it
grow to about double in size. 150X-14 stars resolved with the
last 4 stars extremely faint. Great view of an extremely
compressed cluster in very rich milky way field of view.
220X-20 stars counted, last 5 stars difficult with averted vision
only. Good view of a globular. Somewhat triangular in shape
with direct vision and round with averted vision, bizarre
change in shape with different views.
IC 1295 Pretty faint, pretty small, fan-shaped nebula with 2 stars
involved at 135X. UHC filter works well with this object, it is
somewhat difficult without the filter. This object has been mis-labeled =
IC
1298 in a variety of sources.
Fun;
Steve Coe

Now heres one I can assure you will be a visual
challenge object even in a large dobsonian. A huge 90
arc second planetary, 15th magnitude less than a
degree away from a brilliant globular cluster! And
photographically it is a gorgeous cornflower blue
color. Check this out:

Any observations or comments on this one?
Chris
