Chris, as usual, a fine image. I've got an observation from 10 Aug 2002 from
Cherry Rd of both objects (Saw them in the same field). This was in an *"
f/6 Dob at 72x. I'd give the night a 6 for see & 7 for Transparency. My
Observations below:
IC 1295: Noted in same field as NGC 6712. Very small stellarlike, would not
have seen it if not for obvious field stars pointing at it. Using the O-III
it is barely visible although obvious from the blue color.
NGC 6712: Noted in same field as IC 1295. Seen as mottled haze about 2' in
size. Brighter toward the middle and slightly elongated about 1.1-1 E-W.
Clear Skies

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
