| Name | C | RA | Dec | T | L | Date | Observation |
| R Lep | V | 4h 59m 36.34s | -14° 48' 16.34" | C-8 | B | 2005-12-30 20:00:00 | A very red star of 8.5 Mv. Always a stunner |
| STF2264 | D | 18h 1m 30.41s | 21° 35m 44s | C-8 | B | 2006-05-24 04:00:00 | AKA 95 Her. One of the best in the sky. Two yellow stars, delicately tinted red and green. A splendid sight. |
| khi Cyg | V | 19h 50m 33.94s | 32° 54m 49.48s | C-8 | B | 2006-06-03 03:00:00 | A yellow orange star. I didn't record the magnitude. C-8 |
| STF2758 | D | 21h 6m 53.93s | 38° 44m 57s | C-8 | B | 2006-06-03 03:00:00 | AKA 61 Cyg. A wide pair of yellow orange stars. Fairly pretty. |
| N_7009 | N | 21h 4m 12s | -11° 22' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-07-24 03:00:00 | The celebrated "Saturn" nebula has never looked to me like saturn. It looks like a bright, blueish ellipse, with perhaps a hint of mottling. Perhaps darker skies and higher power will show more. |
| mu Cep | V | 21h 43m 30.34s | 58° 46m 46.88s | C-8 | B | 2006-07-24 03:00:00 | Hershel's "Garnet" star is indeed orange. Perhaps its redness has something to do with interstellar absorbtion, as it is only an M2. An interesting, star but visually, it doesn't live up to it's billing. |
| N_7662 | N | 23h 25m 54s | 42° 33m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-07-24 03:00:00 | One of the highest surface brightness planetaries in the sky, and easily found, even in this degree of light pollution. A blue disc, much like Uranus, although larger and fainter. |
| LAL 123 | D | 15h 33m 9.52s | -24° 29' 25" | C-8 | P | 2006-08-01 11:15:00 | A nice pair. |
| STF2180 | D | 17h 28m 58.16s | 50° 52m 13s | C-8 | P | 2006-08-01 11:15:00 | An exquisite pair of white stars. |
| STF 180 | D | 1h 53m 31.76s | 19° 17m 38s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | AKA Gamma Aries. A lovely double star! Burnham places their separation at 7.8", the WDS gives it as 10.2, and I saw them as approximately 5". B9 and A0. |
| STF 205 | D | 2h 3m 53.91s | 42° 19m 47s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | AKA Gamma And, Almach. A K3 and an A0, which appear gold and pastel blue. One of the finest in the sky, and always a delight to look at. |
| STF2738 | D | 20h 58m 32.22s | 16° 26m 12s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | A "swept up " double. A pair of 7.5-8.5 Mv stars separated by 15 ". WDS gives the same values! |
| BRT2502 | D | 22h 2m 41.88s | 22° 15m 24s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-04 21:00:00 | A "swept up" double. A pair of 10 Mv stars, seen as approximately 10" apart. WDS gives them 4.5". |
| ES 1502 | D | 2h 24m 4.38s | 41° 36m 10s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | A "swept up" double. A faint, wide pair of 10-11 Mv stars. I recorded the position angle as approximately 40, WDS gives it as 25. I saw the separation as 8", WDS as 6.7". |
| STF2670 | D | 20h 22m 13.33s | 16° 22m 22s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | A "swept up" double. A faint, wide pair of 9 Mv stars. |
| STF2804 | D | 21h 32m 58.32s | 20° 42m 41s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | One exquisite little double. They appear brighter than their listed 7.7,8.0 Mv in the WDS. At 3" the pair is barely elongated at low (50x)power, but they separate quite nicely at 231x. |
| N_7331 | N | 22h 37m 6s | 34° 25m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-05 21:00:00 | This galaxy is bright enough to punch through the light pollution above my backyard. It was elongated in position angle 0 degrees, and slightly brighter along its western edge. |
| STF 100 | D | 1h 13m 43.8s | 7° 34m 31s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | A nice yellow-white, yellow pair. WDS gives them as A7 and F7. |
| STF 202 | D | 2h 2m 2.8s | 2° 45m 49s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | AKA Alpha Psc. I saw this pair as being separated by 2" and in position angle approximately 270 degrees. WDS give it as 5.1" and position angle 267. Burnham gives it as 1.9" and position angle 292. A close double. |
| STF 227 | D | 2h 12m 22.28s | 30° 18m 11s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | A pastel yellow and blue pair. Nice |
| STF 232 | D | 2h 14m 42.15s | 30° 23m 41s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | Two exquisite stars, A0, white. position angle approximately 240 degrees. |
| STF 326 | D | 2h 55m 38.89s | 26° 52m 25s | C-8 | B | 2006-08-20 21:00:00 | A K2 and a dM1, Burnham gives the brightnesses as 7.5 and 9.5, but the 9.5 Mv looked fainter. This is confirmed by the WDS which give it as 10.0 Mv. The WDS also lists the primary as a G5. |
| N_6791 | N | 19h 20m 42s | 37° 51m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-02 20:30:00 | A faint, but rich, open cluster. |
| N_6891 | N | 20h 15m 12s | 12° 42m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-02 20:30:00 | Suprisingly faint for a small planetary (15"x7"). |
| V0444 Cyg | V | 20h 19m 32.38s | 38° 43m 50.6s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-02 20:30:00 | A WN eclipsing binary. Need to make a finder chart. Interesting star. |
| N_55 | N | 0h 14m 54s | -39° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | A large, uniformly bright streak. Impressive. |
| STT 5 | D | 0h 18m 42.15s | 43° 47m 28s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | AKA 30 Ari. A nice double A:6 Mv, Burnham: 7 Mv. |
| N_221 | N | 0h 42m 42s | 40° 52m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | AKA M32. A low contrast ellipse near M 31. M 110 was to faint to be seen. |
| STF 174 | D | 1h 50m 8.6s | 22° 16m 29s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | A white-orange pair. Very nice. |
| N_6838 | N | 19h 53m 48s | 18° 47m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | 15-20 stars were seen with averted vision, emeshed in the granulated haze of the rest of the cluster. |
| N_6853 | N | 19h 59m 36s | 22° 43m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | The "dumb-bell" shape was seen this evening. Very nice object. |
| N_6934 | N | 20h 34m 12s | 7° 24m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | Rather faint, I could barely granulate the cluster. |
| STFA 56 | D | 21h 37m 43.64s | 6° 37m 6s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | AKA 3 Peg. An exquisite pair. |
| R Cas | V | 23h 58m 23.94s | 51° 23m 18.04s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-17 21:00:00 | Perhaps seen as a 7 Mv orange red star. |
| N_246 | N | 0h 47m 0s | -11° 53' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Perhaps seen. Extremely low contrast, if so. |
| N_628 | N | 1h 36m 42s | 15° 47m 0s | C-8 | Little Tycho | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Found with a detailed finder chart. Only the nucleus was visible, the envelope was washed out by the bright sky. |
| omi Cet | V | 2h 19m 20.63s | -2° 58' 24.13" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Mira. A yellow orange star of approximately 7 Mv. |
| N_1068 | N | 2h 42m 42s | -0° 1' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Looks like a fuzzy star. Much easier than M 74, but the outer envelope was quite invisible. The LPR filter was of no help. |
| STF 299 | D | 2h 43m 18.04s | 3° 14m 8s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A close pair, approximately 1.5 inch apart, position angle approximately 45 degrees. Burnham gives position angle as 295, WDS as 283. |
| STF 307 | D | 2h 50m 41.78s | 55° 53m 43s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A lovely orange and blue pair. |
| STF 494 | D | 4h 8m 53.5s | 23° 5m 55s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | An exquisitely matched pair, one slightly redder than the other. |
| R Lep | V | 4h 59m 36.34s | -14° 48' 16.34" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | Red orange, approximately 7 Mv. |
| DV Tau | V | 5h 31m 6.3s | 18° 33m 44.72s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A yellow orange M6 star. The brighter CE Tau is in the same field. |
| CE Tau | V | 5h 32m 12.76s | 18° 35m 45.93s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | A yellow orange M2 star. The fainter DV Tau is in the same field. |
| STF 738 | D | 5h 35m 8.28s | 9° 56m 3s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-20 03:30:00 | AKA Lambda Ori. A: dazzlingly white, with a bit of pastel blue. Burnham: bright white. A very nice double. |
| N_224 | N | 0h 42m 42s | 41° 16m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Only the nucleus of this huge spiral is visible, as a large, low contrast elliptical glow, brighter in the middle. |
| N_650 | N | 1h 42m 18s | 51° 34m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A very low contrast object in these light polluted skies. One can see the "peanut" shape that gives it it's popular name. The LPR filter helped with this one, as did the early hour and clear skies. |
| STF 668 | D | 5h 14m 32.27s | -8° 12' 5" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Rigel, Beta Ori. Nice double. The companion is just outside of Rigel's brilliant glare. It looks as if it shines by reflected light, and seems almost grey, although it is a B9 star. A bright companion can strongly influence one's perceptions of the secondary. |
| N_2068 | N | 5h 46m 42s | 0° 3m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A low contrast bit of nebulosity involving 2 stars, about 40" apart, position angle approximately 20 degrees. It was not helped by the LPR filter. Burnham gives the distance as 53", and give the position angle as 18 degrees. |
| N_2068 | N | 5h 46m 42s | 0° 3m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Very faint, if seen at all. |
| N_2158 | N | 6h 7m 30s | 24° 6m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A very faint brightening of the sky near M 35. Only seen when the telescope was slewing. |
| N_2168 | N | 6h 8m 54s | 24° 20m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A field filling cluster of bright stars. Approximately 1 degrees in size. |
| STF 895 | D | 6h 20m 48.34s | 5° 44m 26s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | Perhaps the wide separation caused me to miss this faint (8.3, 9.6 Mv) pair? It is not in Burnham, but Webb raves about it, quoting John Herschel as claiming the pair is full ruby red and green. |
| STF 919 | D | 6h 28m 49.07s | -7° 1' 59" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-26 03:30:00 | A beautiful triple of stars. Needs high power. |
| STF 470 | D | 3h 54m 17.48s | -2° 57' 17" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A very nice pair, position angle approximately 350 degrees. |
| N_1514 | N | 4h 9m 12s | 30° 47m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | This faint planetary is washed out to the point of invisibility in these light polluted skies. |
| STF 518 | D | 4h 15m 17.57s | -7° 38' 41" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | AKA Omicron or 40 Eri. A: Yellow, Burnham: faint white. I did not split the secondary, but I also did not try. It was enough for this time simply to see the white dwarf! I saw that A-B position angle as approximately 90 degrees. |
| STF 698 | D | 5h 25m 12.94s | 34° 51m 18s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A swept up double. A: 7 Mv, Burnham: 8 Mv, Separation: approximately 15 arc seconds, position angle approximately 15 degrees. (Burnham gives the separation as 31.2" , WDS as 31.1. So much for guessing at the eyepiece. I tend to see things closer than they are). |
| S Aur | V | 5h 27m 7.42s | 34° 9m 7.57s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A yellow star? Perhaps this star was not seen? C-8 |
| N_1912 | N | 5h 28m 42s | 35° 50m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A very nice cluster, approximately 40 arc minutes in size. |
| STF 752 | D | 5h 35m 25.97s | -5° 54' 35" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A:4 Mv,B:7 Mv. position angle is 135, separation is 20 arc seconds. All estimates here are just that, estimates! |
| STF 774 | D | 5h 40m 45.52s | -1° 56' 33" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | Even with fairly decent seeing (Pickering 7), the pair is difficult. The secondary sits in the third or forth diffraction ring of the primary. |
| H 6 40 | D | 5h 44m 27.79s | -22° 26' 54" | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | AKA Gamma Lep. A lovely, wide pair, position angle approximately 15 degrees. |
| N_2392 | N | 7h 29m 12s | 20° 55m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-09-30 03:30:00 | A medium sized, bright planetary nebula. I was able to make it "blink". Very nice! |
| STF 919 | D | 6h 28m 49.07s | -7° 1' 59" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-06 03:00:00 | A lovely triple. Looks double at 50x, indeed, hard to resolve at that power, plainly triple at 133X |
| N_2264 | N | 6h 41m 6s | 9° 53m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-06 03:00:00 | A lovely group of sparklers. The Xmas tree cluster, and looks it. |
| STT 191 | D | 8h 24m 49.17s | 20° 9m 10s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | A wide double with delicate yellow-blue colors. |
| STFA 39 | D | 18h 50m 4.79s | 33° 21m 45s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | AKA Beta Lyra. Both stars appear brilliantly white against the twilight glow in which they were observed, at 19:15. This is, of course, the famous eclipsing binary, the enigma of Lyra. |
| N_6779 | N | 19h 16m 36s | 30° 11m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | Nebulous at 50x, a few stars are resolved at 133x. |
| N_6826 | N | 19h 44m 48s | 50° 31m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | A small, bright planetary. "Blinks" nicely at 133x. It appears grey, I could not see any green or blue color. |
| H 5 137 | D | 19h 45m 51.35s | 35° 0m 45s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | A wide double with delicate yellow-blue colors. |
| N_6853 | N | 19h 59m 36s | 22° 43m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | The "dumb-bell" structure was observed in the 30mm with the LPR filter. Unfiltered, M 27 is a very low contrast object in the light pollution, a far cry from the detail it shows in dark skies. |
| STF2727 | D | 20h 46m 39.49s | 16° 7m 27s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-08 20:00:00 | One of the nicest doubles in the sky. Primary is a deep yellow, secondary a pale yellow. |
| T Lyr | V | 18h 32m 20.1s | 36° 59m 52.42s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | A very red star, as red as R Lep. Approximately 9 Mv. |
| ES 2028 | D | 18h 54m 30.28s | 36° 53m 55s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | Delta Lyrae. A pastel blue and orange pair in a beautiful field. This is not a double listed by the WDS. While both components are members of the same cluster, they are too widely separated to be considered to be a double. |
| STF2789 | D | 21h 19m 58.83s | 52° 58m 44s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | An exquisite double. A pair of 7 Mv stars, at 7 arc second distance. I saw the position angle as approximately 310 degrees. |
| RV Cyg | V | 21h 43m 16.24s | 38° 1m 0.95s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-09 20:00:00 | A "dusky" red star, not as intense a red as V Cyg. Only the palest orange in this smoky red star. In a lovely field. C-8 |
| N_598 | N | 1h 33m 54s | 30° 39m 0s | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | A face on Sc. An obvious large smudge in triangulum. Glimpsed with averted vision, naked eye. 7 x 50 Fujinons |
| N_628 | N | 1h 36m 42s | 15° 47m 0s | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | A face on Sc. Easily seen, as opposed to trying to located it in the glowing skies in my backyard. |
| N_6514 | N | 18h 2m 18s | -23° 2' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | Just north of M8, the nebulosity is more uniform that M8's, and fainter. The "Trifid" nature is not so apparent, as it's difficult to see the dark lanes cutting the nebula into 3 parts. It looks more like a cloud crossed by some slightly darker lines. There is a concentration of stars about the nebula, but the entire field looks like a cluster, which, in a way it is: the Sagittarius arm cluster! |
| N_6523 | N | 18h 3m 48s | -24° 23' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | One of the glories of Sagittarius, a constellation that harbors may of them. Bright nebulosity illuminated by glittering stars. Always a beautiful, moving sight. Visible to the naked eye. |
| N_6656 | N | 18h 36m 24s | -23° 54' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | The brightest of the Sagittarius globulars. Its brilliance is a bit overshadowed by the brightness of the milky way that forms a background to the cluster. The cluster is easily resolved with direct vision, and seemingly hundreds of stars are in plain view. Averted vision shows a luminous mass of stars, looking like a pile of spilled sugar. |
| N_6705 | N | 18h 51m 6s | -6° 16' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | A large, rich cluster. Perhaps 100 stars are visible with direct vision, and hundreds more appear with averted vision. A wonderful sight. |
| N_7006 | N | 21h 1m 30s | 16° 11m 0s | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | An extremely distant cluster. Faint, but easily seen in these dark skies. Granulated, and almost resolved. It's always nice to use Gamma Del as a setting circle check when locating NGC 7006. |
| N_7089 | N | 21h 33m 30s | -0° 49' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | A superb globular. It stands alone in a sparsly populated region of the sky, and is extremely condensed. It was well resolved in the Celestron, but I found myself wishing for a telescope ten times its aperture, and dark skies to go with it. |
| N_7293 | N | 22h 29m 36s | -20° 48' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | The largest of the planetaries was faint. It's central hole was fainter still, but not as faint as the surrounding sky. A large, low contrast object. |
| N_7492 | N | 23h 8m 24s | -15° 37' 0" | C-8 | P | 2006-10-13 23:00:00 | This was just a extremely subtle brightening of the sky. It was not granulated. It was more easily seen when the telescope was slewing. That I saw it at all with a 20cm was amazing. A very challenging object. |
| V Aql | V | 19h 4m 24.23s | -5° 41' 11.29" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | Red, but more pastel than V Cyg. Lovely. C-8 |
| N_6751 | N | 19h 5m 54s | -6° 0' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | Extremely faint in the light pollution of downtown DC. Barely visible in the 24.5, 80X eyepiece. It was a bit better using the LPR filter on the 30mm. |
| STF2474 | D | 19h 9m 4.35s | 34° 35m 59s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | It'sa better sight in a C8 telescope that Epsilon. The fainter star in each pair is slightly redder than it's white primary. A delight! |
| V Aqr | V | 20h 46m 49.45s | 2° 26m 10.47s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | Red, but more pastel than V Cyg. Lovely. |
| N_7027 | N | 21h 7m 6s | 42° 14m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A bright, pale blue planetary. Approximately 8"x5". Holds high power well (500x). The central star was not seen. |
| N_7078 | N | 21h 30m 0s | 12° 10m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-21 20:00:00 | A field of sparklers at 500x. Even the core is partially resolved. Lovely! |

| W Ori | V | 5h 5m 23.69s | 1° 10m 44.49s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | A red orange N star of approximately 7 Mv. C-8 |
| N_1904 | N | 5h 24m 30s | -24° 33' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | The seeing this morning was horrible, the cluster was not even granulated. Pinnacles |
| N_1952 | N | 5h 34m 30s | 22° 1m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | The celebrated crab nebula is but a dim smudge from my backyard. |
| N_2099 | N | 5h 52m 24s | 32° 33m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-29 03:00:00 | The richest, but faintest of the Auriga Messier clusters. Overall, a beautiful cluster that would be better served by darker skies. |
| STF 774 | D | 5h 40m 45.52s | -1° 56' 33" | C-8 | B | 2006-10-31 03:30:00 | AKA Zeta Ori, Alnitak. The southeastern star of the belt. Due the the brightness of the primary, the 5.5 Mv secondary is hard to see, even at a separation of 2.3 arc seconds. The seeing this morning was very poor. It might be easier on a better night. |
| STF 589 | D | 4h 44m 48.22s | 5° 17m 22s | C-8 | B | 2006-10-31 03:40:00 | A pair of 8 Mv stars. The "dim twins". |

| N_1904 | N | 5h 24m 30s | -24° 33' 0" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | Barely granulated, if at all. The stars in this cluster are 14 Mv or fainter. |
| STF 747 | D | 5h 35m 2.68s | -6° 0' 7" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | A wide double, southwest of Iota Ori. |
| STF 752 | D | 5h 35m 25.97s | -5° 54' 35" | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | The 2.8 Mv O9 primary is a brilliant blue white, the secondary a meer B9 6.7 Mv star looks almost grey, as though shining by light reflected from the primary. A spectacular double, whose glory is dwarfed by the nearby Orion Nebula, M 42. |
| CR Gem | V | 6h 34m 23.85s | 16° 4m 36.61s | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | A very red star, considering its faintness. About 10 Mv. As with many red stars, this one looks dusky. |
| VW Gem | V | 6h 42m 8.69s | 31° 27m 24.66s | C-8 | B | 2006-11-03 03:30:00 | A dark red orange star, almost brown. About 9 Mv. Cool star, in more ways than one! C-8 |

| V Cyg | V | 20h 41m 18.2s | 48° 8m 28.15s | C-8 | B | 2006-11-09 19:00:00 | A very red star. Impressive. C-8 |
| N_7078 | N | 21h 30m 0s | 12° 10m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-11-09 19:00:00 | At 500x, this cluster is amazing. Approximately 100-300 stars are resolved, with beautiful chains of stars seeming to come from the center of the cluster. At 50x, the stars were so compressed that it was difficult to see any resolution. |
| TX Psc | V | 23h 46m 23.57s | 3° 29m 13.71s | C-8 | B | 2006-11-09 19:00:00 | A bright red orange star, of around 6 Mv. C-8 |
| N_2682 | N | 8h 50m 24s | 11° 49m 0s | C-8 | B | 2006-11-25 04:00:00 | A lovely cluster with only a few doubles. Half fills the 80x field. |

| T Cnc | V | 8h 56m 40.33s | 19° 51m 0.71s | C-8 | B | 2006-12-27 04:00:00 | A pale, red-brown star about 10Mv C-8 |
| N_205 | N | 0h 40m 24s | 41° 41m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-01-08 19:00:00 | A barely perceptible glow against the brightly glowing background of the light polluted sky. This was the third or forth time I had looked for M 110, and tonight it was finally seen. Swinging the telescope back and forth in RA made the faint glow a bit more apparent. |
| R Lep | V | 4h 59m 36.34s | -14° 48' 16.34" | C-8 | B | 2007-01-10 21:00:00 | A very red star! Seen as 10 Mv, perhaps because of poor transparency. |
| STF 630 | D | 5h 2m 0.02s | 1° 36m 31s | C-8 | B | 2007-01-10 21:00:00 | A pair of white stars in a rich field. Delightful! |
| STF 700 | D | 5h 23m 5.53s | 1° 3m 24s | C-8 | B | 2007-01-10 21:00:00 | A pretty pair of white stars, with that special brilliance from the fact they are B9s. |
| STF 701 | D | 5h 23m 18.49s | -8° 24' 55" | C-8 | B | 2007-01-10 21:00:00 | A very nice pair. A: pastel blue, Burnham: pastel red. |

| N_1232 | N | 3h 9m 48s | -20° 35' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-01-17 22:00:00 | Looked like a spiral. It was mottled, with a faint nucleus. Burnham lists it as an Sc. |
| N_1300 | N | 3h 19m 42s | -19° 25' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-01-17 22:00:00 | The nucleus was very elongated, and surrounded by a faint envelope. I could not make out the spiral arms. |

| STF1108 | D | 7h 32m 50.63s | 22° 53m 15s | C-8 | B | 2007-01-17 22:00:00 | Light yellow, barely discernable bluish, which is suprising from an F8 star. Perhaps it's an illusion caused by the redder K0 primary. |
| N_1435 | N | 3h 46m 6s | 23° 47m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-01-20 22:00:00 | This is the nebula surrounding 23 Tau (Merope) in the Pleiades. It was quite faint, but apparent with the 56 mm eyepiece (36x). It was invisible in the finder. |
| N_2244 | N | 6h 32m 24s | 4° 52m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-01-20 22:00:00 | A large cluster in a rich region. The famous "Rosette nebula" was lost in the sky glow. |
| N_2261 | N | 6h 39m 12s | 8° 44m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-01-20 22:00:00 | A faint, cone shaped nebula with considerable mottling. It holds magnification well. Lovely. |

| N_3242 | N | 10h 24m 48s | -18° 38' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-01-20 23:00:00 | Very nice. Like NGC 7662 in Andromeda. Round, no central star seen. |
| N_2158 | N | 6h 7m 30s | 24° 6m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-02-10 20:00:00 | The companion cluster to M35 was a faint brightening of the sky. M35 itself was a faint brightening of the sky in the finder. Both were barely glimpsed in their respective telescopes. |

| N_1976 | N | 5h 35m 24s | -5° 27' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-03-18 10:30:00 | The great nebula in Orion. It looked GREEN at 36x. This is the first time I've ever seen this color in it, probably due to the low magnification and large exit pupil. The seeing was poor, and I could barely make out the E and F stars in the trapesium at 160x. |

| N_3384 | N | 10h 48m 18s | 12° 38m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-03-18 10:30:00 | A grand view, as M105 and NGC 3389 are in the same field |
| N_3389 | N | 10h 48m 30s | 12° 32m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-03-18 10:30:00 | C-8 @80x. A grand view, as M105 and NGC 3384 are in the same field. NGC 3389 is a mottled, faint streak. |
| N_4254 | N | 12h 18m 48s | 14° 25m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-03-18 10:30:00 | An elliptical patch in the sky. The nucleus is indistinct, and the patch is mottled. |

| N_4565 | N | 12h 36m 18s | 25° 59m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-03-18 10:30:00 | 80x: A faint but distinct streak, with sharp edges. Bright middle, and the dust lane was barely visible with averted vision. |
| Y CVn | V | 12h 45m 8.12s | 45° 26m 23.2s | C-8 | P | 2007-03-18 10:30:00 | A yellow orange star, redder than Betelgeuse, that does indeed show very dark bands in the green portion of it's spectrum. Spectrascopically, it is wonderful, visually, it might be the brightest of the N stars, but it is lackluster. C-8 |

| N_4385 | N | 12h 25m 42s | 0° 34m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-05-11 23:00:00 | Very faint, NW of an 8th Magnitude star. K stars gives its magnitude as 13.2, Burnham (usually the more accurate source) gives it as 12.9. SS Virginis is about 1/2 degree North of NGC 4385. |
| N_4406 | N | 12h 26m 12s | 12° 57m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-05-11 23:00:00 | Bright Elliptical in Virgo in a spectacular field with M84, N4338 and N4387. |
| N_3c 273 | N | 12h 29m 6s | 2° 3m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-05-11 23:00:00 | Looks like a 12th Magnitude star. Too faint to detect the blue color. This needed the AAVSO finder chart to identify it. |
| STF1670 | D | 12h 41m 39.59s | -1° 26' 57" | C-8 | P | 2007-05-11 23:00:00 | AKA Gamma Virginis. This double is at periastron. Burnham's diagram show its separation as being 0.5". It was elongated, but not split. |
| N_4736 | N | 12h 50m 54s | 41° 7m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-05-11 23:00:00 | Bright nucleus, pale disc, a hint of spiral structure seen. |
| N_5055 | N | 13h 15m 48s | 42° 2m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-05-11 23:00:00 | Bright, spindle shaped, brighter towards the middle, some mottling in the bright areas was glimpsed. |
| N_5194 | N | 13h 29m 54s | 47° 12m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-05-11 23:00:00 | Very good tonight, scraping the zenith. and more spiral structure and mottling was noticed than usual, when it's seen rising in the north east. A magnificent object. |
| STF 948 | D | 6h 46m 14.34s | 59° 26m 30s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-22 23:00:00 | Superb unequal double. The primary is itself double, but very close (~1"), the primary requires excellent seeing to split it. Only the primary is listed by the WDS. |
| STF2010 | D | 16h 8m 4.54s | 17° 2m 49s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-22 23:00:00 | AKA Kappa Herc. A wide light yellow and yellow pair, noteworthy because it is a rare optical double. |
| STF2032 | D | 16h 14m 40.84s | 33° 51m 31s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-22 23:00:00 | AKA Sigma CBr. Pale yellow and yellow. Like a distant pair of headlights. A nice double. |
| STF2140 | D | 17h 14m 38.85s | 14° 23m 24s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-22 23:00:00 | AKA Alpha Her. The primary is a pale orange, the secondary appears faintly greenish, but hardly the "Emerald Green" claimed by Mary Proctor. A striking pair. |
| STF2161 | D | 17h 23m 40.96s | 37° 8m 45s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-22 23:00:00 | AKA Rho Her. Exquisite! A lovely pair of white stars. |
| STF2280 | D | 18h 7m 49.56s | 26° 6m 4s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-22 23:00:00 | AKA 100 Her. A nice pair, both white. |
| N_6572 | N | 18h 12m 6s | 6° 51m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-22 23:00:00 | Like a star that never focuses well. A pale blue or green planetary that looks brighter than the 8.7 Mv star 3 arc minutes west of it. It looks smaller than the size Burnham gives it, 15 x 12". |
| AC 15 | D | 18h 7m 1.61s | 30° 33m 42s | C-8 | B | 2007-05-25 23:00:00 | AKA 99 Her. This is a very difficult double. The companion is a slight brightening of the first diffraction ring of the primary. |
| SS Vir | V | 12h 25m 13.61s | 0° 46m 10.69s | C-8 | Backyard | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A very nice red orange N star. Approximately 7.5 Mv |
| STF1645 | D | 12h 28m 4.45s | 44° 47m 39s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A very nice double! |
| N_4449 | N | 12h 28m 12s | 44° 6m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A faint brightening of the sky glow. I was suprised I saw this irregular at all! |
| N_5272 | N | 13h 42m 12s | 28° 23m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | Very nice, even in the light pollution. |
| STF1877 | D | 14h 44m 59.25s | 27° 4m 27s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | AKA Epsilon Bootes. A very close, but delightful double. |
| STF1888 | D | 14h 51m 23.04s | 19° 6m 6s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | AKA Xi Bootes. An exquisite double. Yellow and yellow with an orange tinge. |
| STF1909 | D | 15h 3m 47.29s | 47° 39m 14s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | AKA 44 Bootes. A very close double star. Not clearly split. At 500x, the airy discs were touching, and the diffraction disks formed shimmering rings around the two stars. |
| STF1910 | D | 15h 7m 32.95s | 9° 13m 33s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A close pair of yellow stars. They look fainter than their stated 7 Mv. |
| N_5904 | N | 15h 18m 36s | 2° 5m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A most glorious Globular cluster, even when viewed in the light pollution of my backyard. Approximately 30-50 stars were visible with direct vision, and hundreds with averted vision. |
| STF1985 | D | 15h 55m 54.62s | -2° 9' 51" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:00:00 | A a pale yellow, B a dusky blue. |
| STF1657 | D | 12h 35m 7.76s | 18° 22m 37s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-06 22:30:00 | AKA 23 Coma. A glorious double. Primary yellow, secondary blue green. Reminds me of Albireo. |
| STF1954 | D | 15h 34m 48.13s | 10° 32m 20s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | AKA Delta Serpens. An exquisite little double. At first glance, both stars look white, but more careful examination reveals that the primary is a very pastel yellow green, and its companion is very pastel green. |
| V Oph | V | 16h 26m 43.66s | -12° 25' 42.85" | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A very red star of approximately 8.5 Mv. Nice. |
| STFA 31 | D | 16h 40m 38.68s | 4° 13m 11s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A swept up double. A pair of white stars of 5 - 6 Mv, 80" apart, position angle not recorded. Also known as 36 and 37 Her. They are listed as an A1 and A3, but look pastel yellow and blue. WDS gives separation as 67.8, and position angle as 233. |
| STF2087 | D | 16h 42m 34.82s | 23° 40m 1s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | "Discovered" this rather nice double while sweeping. A pair of 9 Mv stars. WDS lists them as G5s, but I saw them as white, with a tinging of red. Approximately 4" sep and position angle = 300 degrees. (WDS: 6.5", 288, 2009). |
| N_6210 | N | 16h 44m 30s | 23° 49m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A round, slightly fuzzy at the edges disc. It's bright, small, and pastel blue. |
| N_6341 | N | 17h 17m 6s | 43° 8m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | Partially resolved at 80x. A color-magnitude graph found online shows that most of the stars are fainter than 14 Mv. Weird. I saw at least 30 of them, and granulation indicating many more. I suspect that Burnham, who mentions that the stars are 12th and below is correct. A most magnificient assemblage of stars. |
| SV Oph | V | 17h 56m 24.78s | 3° 22m 33.4s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A red orange star of approximately 8 Mv, seen while sweeping. Not in SAO. Seen at 17h 57m 30s, +2 degrees 42'. Burnham (precessed to 2007) gives 17h 56m 46.07s, 3° 22m 29.36s. I saw the star as approximately 8.5 Mv, Burnham says it's 9.4 to 13 Mv. The AAVSO chart seems to reflect the field in which I saw the star. |
| STF2272 | D | 18h 5m 17.8s | 2° 30m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | AKA 70 Oph. A lovely pair, yellow and gold. |
| TY Oph | V | 18h 31m 23.7s | 4° 22m 48.11s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | Need a better finder chart! |
| T Lyr | V | 18h 32m 20.1s | 36° 59m 52.42s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-09 22:00:00 | A very red star, as red as anything else in the sky. Approximately 9.5Mv. The longer one stares at it, the redder it seems to get. Perhaps the "Purkinje" effect? |
| T Lyr | V | 18h 32m 20.1s | 36° 59m 52.42s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A stunningly red star, approximately 8 Mv. The brightest in the field. |
| STFA 38 | D | 18h 44m 46.34s | 37° 36m 18s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA Zeta Lyrae. A nice wide pair of bright yellow stars. |
| STF2470 | D | 19h 8m 45.2s | 34° 45m 37s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | With it's companion pair, 2474, one of the finest double star sights in the heavens. |
| STF2474 | D | 19h 9m 4.35s | 34° 35m 59s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | With it's companion pair, 2470, one of the finest double star sights in the heavens. |
| N_6779 | N | 19h 16m 36s | 30° 11m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A low contrast clump of faint stars, rather loose, as it was resolved to it's core. Resolution was tricky with the bright sky plus the milky way. |
| U Lyr | V | 19h 20m 3.94s | 37° 52m 23.84s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | Apparently fairly faint at this time. AAVSO puts it at around 12th Mv for now. C-8 |
| N_6791 | N | 19h 20m 42s | 37° 51m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A very low contrast brightening of the sky between 2 6 Mv stars approximately 15 arc minutes apart in position angle of approximately 45 degrees. No stars were seen. Faint. |
| ES 2490 | D | 19h 20m 50.49s | 37° 39m 18s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A pair of 10th magnitude stars I happened upon while trying to find U Lyr. There are several pairs in this region, and this was the first I happened upon. WDS lists the position angle as 40 degrees, I saw it as 315 degrees. 2011 update. I suspect this was not ES 2490, but another star. |
| STFA 43 | D | 19h 30m 43.29s | 27° 57m 34s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA Albireo, Beta Cyg. This famous double is possibly better in the Questar than the C8. The larger aperature overwhelms the colors, and they appear pale gold and blue in sharp focus. A bit of defocusing allows the colors to become more pronounced. |
| TT Cyg | V | 19h 40m 56.98s | 32° 37m 1.7s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A yellow star with strong brown overtones. A weird color for a star, like a tungsten light bulb seen through a brown filter. Approximately 7.5 Mv. |
| STFA 46 | D | 19h 41m 49.09s | 50° 31m 31s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA 16 Cyg. Found this while examining the skies around NGC 6826. They share the same declination, and are a little over a degree apart. I saw a position angle of approximately 135, WDS reports the position angle is 141. The two yellow stars looked a bit like distant headlights. My separation was approximately 30 d, WDS, 37 degrees. |
| N_6826 | N | 19h 44m 48s | 50° 31m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | The "blinking" planetary appeared as a fuzzy star surrounded by nebulosity. I couldn't make it blink much, perhaps due to the brightness of the surrounding sky. One of the brighter planetaries. |
| STF2580 | D | 19h 46m 25.6s | 33° 43m 39s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | AKA 17 cyg. A nice double is a beautiful field. |
| AX Cyg | V | 19h 57m 13s | 44° 15m 40.34s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-21 03:00:00 | A yellow white star with very strong red overtones. Sometimes looks quite red, sometimes almost white, depending on the degree of averted vision. It appeared to be 8 Mv, not 9, as stated in Burnham. The companion was not seen. |
| STF1965 | D | 15h 39m 22.67s | 36° 38m 9s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | AKA Zeta CrB, a superb pair of bright white (B7 - B9) stars. A good show object for a moonlit night. One of the best. |
| RR Her | V | 16h 4m 13.3s | 50° 29m 52.7s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A very pale red star approximately 8.5 Mv, slightly brighter than the 8.8 Mv star in the AAVSO finder chart. |
| N_6205 | N | 16h 41m 42s | 36° 28m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A glorious sight, despite the moonlight. Hundreds of stars, in a glow of thousands, like spilled sugar. |
| N_6229 | N | 16h 47m 0s | 47° 32m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | Looks like a bright elliptical galaxy. There was the slightest bit of mottling in the cluster, visible with averted vision and 163x. It looked more condensed than its class VII type indicates. Early observers (Herschel, Webb) saw this as a planetary nebula. The brightest stars are reported as 15.5 Mv, it's not suprising that I didn't resolve this one! |
| STF3107 | D | 16h 58m 50.28s | 3° 58m 1s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | Not found. Need a finder chart! |
| STF2202 | D | 17h 44m 34.08s | 2° 34m 45s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | AKA 61 Oph. A nice, wide pair of white stars. |
| STF2245 | D | 17h 56m 24.41s | 18° 19m 37s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A lovely pair of A2 stars, cleanly split even at 80x. They were as yellow as F stars, I suspect a bit of interstellar reddening causes this. |
| STF2276 | D | 18h 5m 43.29s | 12° 0m 13s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-22 23:00:00 | A nice pair in a rich field. Beautiful. |
| STF2404 | D | 18h 50m 45.54s | 10° 58m 35s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | "Discovered" while sweeping the least hazy part of the sky. Clouded out minutes later. I'm sure this is a very nice pair, if the skies are clear. The WDS lists 6 other doubles within a degree of this one. |
| STF2486 | D | 19h 12m 5.03s | 49° 51m 20s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | A nice pair of yellow stars in a beautiful field, they are the brightest stars in that field. |
| STF2578 | D | 19h 45m 39.65s | 36° 5m 27s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | A very pale yellow and blue pair. Burnham and bright star list the primary as a B9. To make it appear yellow, there must be a bit of interstellar reddening. |
| STF2588 | D | 19h 49m 0.9s | 44° 22m 45s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | Tonight's hazy skies caused what should have been a nice pair in a beautiful field to be lackluster. |
| STT 391 | D | 19h 56m 50.14s | 44° 16m 16s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | A yellow-blue pair. A is supposed to be an N star, but it did not look red enough. Looks a magnitude fainter because of the clouds. |
| Cyg_X1 | N | 19h 58m 18s | 35° 2m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-06-24 03:00:00 | The celebrated X ray source, the first black hole to be recognized as such. A white star that appeared lackluster in these overly hazy skies. It might appear more brilliant in clearer skies. |
| STF3107 | D | 16h 58m 50.28s | 3° 58m 1s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-02 22:00:00 | A rather faint double, 2 9th magnitude stars in Ophiuchus. With the 56mm eyepiece, the star looked single, with the 24.5, it was barely elongated, with the 6mm, it was cleanly split. The stars were faint enough that the diffraction rings were almost invisible. |
| STF1935 | D | 15h 20m 13.27s | 30° 41m 44s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | Sweptup this pair while looking for S CrB. It looked to me as position angle300, separation 5", 9.5 - 10 Mv. WDS gives 290 pa, 8.4 separation, and10-10 Mv. |
| STF1970 | D | 15h 46m 11.21s | 15° 25m 18s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | Swept up while looking for R Ser. I saw the primary as an A star, 3-8 Mv, separation 50 position angle 270, WDS gives 3.7-10 separation 24, position angle 212, with the primary as an A2, 2010. |
| STF2140 | D | 17h 14m 38.85s | 14° 23m 24s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | A grand colored double, I see them as orange and white with strong green tinging, perhaps caused by the strong reddish color of the primary. This 3.1 Mv star is barely visible from my backyard. |
| STF2362 | D | 18h 38m 25.7s | 36° 3m 11s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | Swept up this pair while sweeping through Lyra. It looked like the components were 8-9 Mv, 3" sep, and 180 degrees position angle. WDS gives 8-9 Mv, 3.9 sep, and 179 position angle. |
| STF2860 | D | 22h 3m 13.84s | 60° 50m 52s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-06 23:00:00 | I saw the pair as 7.5-9.5mv, 10", 260pa. The WDS gives the separation as 3". |
| STF2401 | D | 18h 48m 57.82s | 21° 10m 1s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-21 22:30:00 | These stars looked fainter than their 7 - 8.5 Mv, as reported by Burnham, especially the secondary. WDS gives the secondary as 9.27 Mv. A none too spectacular pair, not helped by tonight's hazy skies. |
| STF2021 | D | 16h 13m 18.45s | 13° 31m 37s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-31 22:00:00 | Swept up this exquisite double while looking for Struve 2007. Burnham gives the spectra as K0, but that's unlikely, both look like A stars to me. I saw 0 degrees pa, recent observations at U of South Alabama give a position angle of 356. I saw 5 arc second separation, they 4. I saw 7Mv, they saw 7.3 - 7.7 Mv. A very nice pair. |
| STF2186 | D | 17h 35m 50.43s | 0° 59m 47s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-31 22:00:00 | An exquisite double, 2 bright white stars of almost equal brightness. |
| STF2262 | D | 18h 3m 4.9s | -8° 10' 48" | C-8 | B | 2007-07-31 22:00:00 | Also known as Tau Oph. A very close double, each component sits at about 130% of the other's first diffraction ring. |
| SHJ 282 | D | 18h 54m 52.51s | 33° 58m 6s | C-8 | B | 2007-07-31 22:00:00 | Found while sweeping around the other double double. I saw 5-6 Mv, position angle 5, and 30" separation. WDS: 6-7.5 Mv, position angle 349, and 46" sep, 2010. |

| N_6613 | N | 18h 19m 54s | -17° 8' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | A large, loose cluster, enveloped in faint nebulosity. In a starless region of the sky, this grouping would be spectacular, but towards the center of the milky way, it hardly stands out. |
| N_6618 | N | 18h 20m 48s | -16° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | "The swan" seems to swim northwards through the milky way. One of the most beautiful nebula in the sky. |
| N_6818 | N | 19h 44m 0s | -14° 9' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | A bright, pale blue doughnut. The "ring" shape of this nebula was barely apparent, it's central region was much brighter than M57's. When I looked directly at the nebula, it seemed to vanish, as my fovea could not see it. |
| N_6822 | N | 19h 44m 54s | -14° 48' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | This galaxy appears to be a star cloud in the milky way. It's very low contrast, and seems to be oriented in north-south direction, position angle approximately 0 degrees. It is very hard to see, even at 36x. |
| N_6864 | N | 20h 6m 6s | -21° 55' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | A bright, compact globular cluster. It's quite striking. I barely could granulate this cluster. The brightest stars in the cluster are only 14th mv. (Catelan, M et al. in The Astronomical Journal, Volume124, Issue 1, pp. 364-378.) |
| N_6994 | N | 20h 59m 0s | -12° 38' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:00:00 | "Messier's Mistake". An easily made one. This little asterism does indeed seem to have a glow of nebulosity or a cloud of very faint stars around it. It is now not even thought to be a cluster. |
| N_6853 | N | 19h 59m 36s | 22° 43m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-12 22:30:00 | Wow. In dark skies, this is spectacular. The southern "bell" is the brighter, and hints of mottling were seen. The nebula itself was washed out blue in color. The star field around it is dazzling. |
| N_6960 | N | 20h 45m 42s | 30° 43m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:30:00 | Eastern branch of the Veil. A soft glow near 52 Cyg in a glorious field. The nebula is mostly north and south of 52. |
| N_6992 | N | 20h 56m 24s | 31° 43m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:30:00 | The western branch of the Veil. A large, faint, pale arc of nebulosity in a glorious field. Superb at 36x |
| 190786 | S | 21h 58m 43.76s | -1212° 46' 37.14" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:30:00 | Well, it's not listed as a variable, but it sure looks like an N star. Given it's an M4 giant, it probably does vary a bit. It looked like sunlight glinting off of a newly minted penny. Swept up while looking for NGC 7293 |
| N_7099 | N | 21h 40m 24s | -23° 11' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-12 22:45:00 | A loose globular, with stars 11.5... mv. Not as striking as M 75. The published H-R diagram shows the brightest stars are 12... mv (Buonanno, R, et all in Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, vol. 74, no.3, Sept. 1998) |
| N_224 | N | 0h 42m 42s | 41° 16m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-13 00:15:00 | I managed to trace the boundaries of this galaxy to 4 degrees along its major axis. The dark lanes just west of the nucleus were glimpsed. The light of the galaxy is uniform, especially towards the center. |
| STF3061 | D | 0h 5m 44.44s | 17° 50m 25s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | A nice white pairs of stars, position angle approximately 150 degrees. Struve 3060 is in the same field, and the 2 pairs have similar position angles. WDS: position angle: 148, Sep: 7.6, Mv: 8.4, Mvb: 8.51, Sp: F5V F5V |
| STF3060 | D | 0h 5m 55.56s | 18° 4m 34s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | A dull white pairs of stars, position angle approximately 140 degrees. Struve 3061 is in the same field, and the 2 pairs have similar position angles. WDS: position angle: 134, Sep: 3.9, Mv: 9.32, Mvb: 9.65, Sp: K0 |

Interesting how the fainter component looks darker, even if they are the same spectral class. WDS: position angle: 293, Sep: 10.7, Mv: 7.26,Mvb: 8.03, Sp: F3V F3V |
| STF 250 | D | 2h 21m 14.91s | 37° 25m 23s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | A close, lackluster double. I saw position angle as approximately 130°egrees. WDS: position angle: 136, Sep: 3.2, Mv: 9.22, Mvb: 9.69, Sp:A3 |
| STF 249 | D | 2h 21m 35.65s | 44° 35m 59s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | This looked to be a bit closer than WDS's 2.3", and the companion looked fainter than the listed 9 mv. Position angle approximately 180. WDS: position angle: 195, Sep: 2.3, Mv: 7.21, Mvb: 8.99, Sp: A2. |
| STF 251 | D | 2h 21m 44.13s | 39° 22m 39s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | This was a rather hard to find pair, it's so close and faint. It looked single with the 24.5, and took searching with the 14 wide field to find it. Position angle 270. WDS: position angle: 265, Sep: 2.2, Mv: 9.02, Mvb: 9.63, Sp: G5 |
| STF2985 | D | 23h 9m 58.88s | 47° 57m 33s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | I saw position angle 260 d, with the primary yellow and the secondary gold, an average looking double. WDS: position angle: 256, Sep: 14.7, Mv: 7.21, Mvb: 8.02, Sp: G2IV-V. |
| N_7662 | N | 23h 25m 54s | 42° 33m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | A fuzzy, almost featureless pale blue disk with a hint of a central hole. The nebula vanished when viewed with the fovea in the 24.5. Not so the 12.5, as the image then spills over the retina's fovea. |
| N_7768 | N | 23h 50m 54s | 27° 10m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | An E0 galaxy, with an integrated magnitude of 12.3. This is the faintest galaxy I've ever seen from the backyard. It was close to the zenith, and not seen in the 24.5, but glimpsed with the 12.5. Seen while observing GR Peg. |
| GR Peg | V | 23h 51m 8.05s | 27° 10m 46.96s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | There was no color seen in this M8 star, as it seemed to be at less than its recorded minimum. I saw it as 11.5, not 11. NGC 7768 was glimpsed with the 12.5, but not with the 25.4. |
| STF3048 | D | 23h 58m 3.87s | 24° 20m 27s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-16 01:00:00 | A yellow and orange star with a position angle of 320 degrees. It is a triple, as there is an 11 mv companion at approximately 270 position angle. WDS: position angle: 315, Sep: 9.4, Mv: 7.94, Mvb: 10.17, Sp: G5. |
| N_247 | N | 0h 47m 6s | -20° 46' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-17 21:00:00 | A faint oval, smaller than NGC 253. |
| N_288 | N | 0h 52m 48s | -26° 35' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-17 21:00:00 | A large, loose, faint globular cluster, easily resolved, however, when seen. |
| I1459 | N | 22h 57m 12s | -36° 28' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-09-17 21:00:00 | A bright, fuzzy starlike object. |
| STF 186 | D | 1h 55m 53.8s | 1° 50m 59s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A close pair, with the secondary looking much fainter than its listed magnitude. The secondary sat on the primaries first or second diffraction ring, the seeing was fairly unsteady, so the rings were dancing around wildly; position angle approximately 270°. WDS: position angle: 60, Sep: 1.4, Mv: 6.79, Mvb: 6.84, Sp: F9V. It's possible that this was the wrong star. |
| H 5 12 | D | 1h 57m 55.7s | 23° 35m 45s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | AKA Lambda Aries. A nice but wide pair of yellow white stars. |
| STF 224 | D | 2h 10m 52s | 13° 41m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A faintly yellow pair, average looking. 240° position angle. WDS: position angle: 244, Sep: 6.3, Mv: 8.28, Mvb: 8.9, Sp: G5 |

| STF 239 | D | 2h 17m 25.29s | 28° 44m 42s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A lackluster pair. I saw position angle as 280 °, WDS: position angle: 209, Sep: 14.4 Mv: 7.09, Mvb: 7.83, Sp: F7V F9V |
| STF 246 | D | 2h 18m 39.74s | 34° 29m 15s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A lackluster pair of 135° position angle. WDS: PA: 123, Sep: 10.8 Mv: 7.82, Mvb: 9.26, Sp: G0IV |
| N_949 | N | 2h 30m 48s | 37° 8m 0s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A very low contrast glow. No detail seen. |
| STF 285 | D | 2h 38m 45.9s | 33° 25m 8s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A very close pair that looks fainter than their listed magnitudes. 180° position angle. Lackluster. WDS: PA: 177, Sep: 2.2, Mv: 7.48, Mvb: 8.14,Sp: K2III+ |
| STF 291 | D | 2h 41m 6.81s | 18° 47m 59s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A pair of faint white stars, position angle 140°. They look fainter than their listed magnitude. WDS: PA: 119, Sep: 2.9, Mv: 7.66, Mvb: 7.5, Sp: B9.5V |

An unequal pair, with another companion 20" away, all three stars have the same position angle, 120°. WDS: position angle:125, Sep: 3.2, Mv: 5.32, Mvb: 7.95, Sp: B6V, More distant pair: position angle: 109, Sep: 25.5, Mv: 5.3, Mvb: 10.72, Sp: U. |

Each star is with the other's first diffraction ring, but both Airy discs were seen, boiling in the turbulent atmosphere at 500x in the 4mm, position angle was 30° or 210°. WDS: position angle: 210, Sep: 0.5, Mv: 5.17, Mvb: 5.57, Sp: A2Vs A2Vs |

WDS: position angle: 252, Sep: 5.8, Mv: 8.33, Mvb: 8.44, Sp: A2V (Perhaps there a bit of interstellar reddening going on here.) |
| STF 377 | D | 3h 20m 34.14s | 19° 10m 49s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | I did not split the 8-9th mv pair at 0.8". The other two stars also appeared single, making this system appear to be a single double of separation 25" in position angle 120°. |
| STF 394 | D | 3h 28m 1.39s | 20° 27m 51s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 03:00:00 | A nice pale gold (primary) - pale blue (secondary) pair, position angle approximately 165°. WDS: position angle: 163, Sep: 8.5, Mv: 7.05, Mvb:8.16, Sp: A3 G5 |
| SW Cet | V | 1h 38m 29.26s | 1° 21m 45.7s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-18 04:00:00 | Not found. |

| STF2738 | D | 20h 58m 32.22s | 16° 26m 12s | C-8 | B | 2007-09-30 21:30:00 | Swept up double. 15" separation, 250° position angle. 7.5 - 8.5. WDS: position angle: 256, Sep: 15.0, Mv: 7.51, Mvb: 8.57, Sp: F5V A0 |
| N_246 | N | 0h 47m 0s | -11° 53' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-10-13 21:00:00 | A faint, large, planetary nebula. I did not see the circular outline as seen in its photos. Rather, it appears as5 faint stars enveloped with nebulosity. |
| N_253 | N | 0h 47m 36s | -25° 17' 0" | C-8 | Pinnacles | 2007-10-13 21:00:00 | A beautiful, bright oval in the sky, somewhat mottled. |

| N_6809 | N | 19h 40m 0s | -30° 58' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-10-13 21:00:00 | A bright, large, loose globular with quite a few bright stars involved with it. I estimated these to be 11.5 mv. Oddly, the color magnitude diagram shows only 1 or 2 12th magnitude stars, and quite a few 14th and below stars. The cluster was easily resolved. |
| N_6981 | N | 20h 53m 30s | -12° 32' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-10-13 21:00:00 | A faint, but resolvable globular. The stars are 14 mv and fainter, although with averted vision, the cluster was well granulated. I expect I was glimpsing 15th mv stars. Much smaller than M55. |
| N_7293 | N | 22h 29m 36s | -20° 48' 0" | C-8 | P | 2007-10-13 21:00:00 | A large, faint circle in the sky. I could not see a ring or helical shape. The nebula was still in the eastern "soup" when I observed it this year, so the sky could have been darker. |
| N_7320 | N | 22h 36m 6s | 33° 57m 0s | C-8 | P | 2007-10-13 21:00:00 | AKA Stephan's Quintet. A very faint, but persistent brightening of the sky. Without a finder chart I would not have been able to find it. Ranks with IC 1257 for difficulty in seeing it. I only "saw" the brightest member, NGC 7320. |
| R Aqr | V | 23h 43m 49.45s | -15° 17' 3.15" | C-8 | P | 2007-10-13 21:00:00 | A bizarre star. It looks red grey! Like a very dusty red star. Approximately 8 mv. No sign of the nebula was seen, but I didn't look too hard. C-8 |

| STF 515 | D | 4h 13m 23.04s | 2° 52m 7s | C-8 | B | 2007-10-21 03:00:00 | A nice white pair, position angle 60°. WDS: position angle: 44, Sep: 3.5, Mv: 9.04, Mvb: 9.15, Sp: F5 |
| T Tau | V | 4h 21m 59.04s | 19° 32m 13.24s | C-8 | B | 2007-10-21 03:00:00 | A 9.5 mv star, found by means of the chart I made. Visually, it does not stand out. The nebula associated with this was located around an arc minute or two NW of the star. It was extremely faint, and if I hadn't know it was there I would not have spotted it. |
| R Lep | V | 4h 59m 36.34s | -14° 48' 16.34" | C-8 | B | 2007-10-21 03:00:00 | The star appeared to be 7.5 mv, and looked a bright red orange. I've seen it much more red. |
| V Aur | V | 6h 24m 2.96s | 47° 42m 31.49s | C-8 | B | 2007-10-21 03:00:00 | A brick red star, with a bit of pastel gray mixed in. A classic N star which I found to be 9.5 mv. |
| STF2797 | D | 21h 26m 41.14s | 13° 41m 17s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:00:00 | An unequal pair, white and "gray". An OK pair, but does not stand out. |
| STF2841 | D | 21h 54m 17.43s | 19° 43m 5s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:00:00 | Light yellow-white pair. WDS: position angle: 110, Sep: 22.1, Mv: 6.45, Mvb: 7.99, Sp: K0III+F7V. |
| STF2854 | D | 22h 4m 22.52s | 13° 38m 53s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:00:00 | A very close, unequal pair, difficult in this evening's full moon glare. WDS: position angle: 83, Sep: 3.3, Mv: 7.77, Mvb: 7.89, Sp: F6V. Note that I saw the companion as being much fainter than as listed by the WDS. |
| STF2861 | D | 22h 6m 1.24s | 20° 48m 12s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:00:00 | A nice, but faint pair. Both stars appeared white. WDS: position angle: 220, Sep: 7.1, Mv: 8.14, Mvb: 8.64, Sp: A4V |
| STF2920 | D | 22h 34m 31.57s | 4° 13m 20s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:00:00 | Wrong coordinates? |
| STF2857 | D | 22h 6m 10.57s | 10° 5m 36s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:30:00 | The companion appears quite faint, in tonight's moon washed sky. WDS: position angle: 114, Sep: 19.5, Mv: 7.14, Mvb: 9.8, Sp: A2. Note that Burnham shows the companion as 8.5 mv, and the WDS as 9.8. My observation agrees with the WDS. |
| STF2905 | D | 22h 27m 12.81s | 15° 9m 12s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:30:00 | A faint pair, Burnham gives 8.5, 8.5 mv, WDS gives 9.3, 9.3. My observation agrees with WDS. The stars appeared white. WDS: position angle: 284, Sep: 3.3, Mv: 9.28, Mvb: 9.34, Sp: G1V |
| STF2908 | D | 22h 28m 11.54s | 17° 15m 47s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:30:00 | Yellowish - blue. The companion, Burnham 8.5, WDS 9.7, appeared faint, my observation agrees with the WDS. WDS: position angle: 116, Sep: 8.9, Mv: 7.74, Mvb: 9.68, Sp: G9III. |
| STF2915 | D | 22h 32m 33.92s | 7° 25m 5s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:30:00 | Two white stars. Lackluster. WDS: position angle: 169, Sep: 12.3, Mv: 9.46, Mvb: 9.52, Sp: F0. |
| STF2974 | D | 23h 5m 1.11s | 33° 23m 8s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:30:00 | A close pair, with faint components, but quite nice. The stars were white, with close to equal brightness. WDS: position angle: 161, Sep:3.4, Mv: 8.07, Mvb: 8.46, Sp: A0V A3V. |
| STF2978 | D | 23h 7m 27.72s | 32° 49m 31s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:30:00 | A nice, unequal pair, light yellow, pale orange. WDS: position angle:148, Sep: 8.7, Mv: 6.35, Mvb: 7.46, Sp: A3V. Perhaps a bit of interstellar reddening here? Star colors can be quite subjective. |
| STF2990 | D | 23h 13m 17.75s | 22° 5m 2s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-23 20:45:00 | A close white pair, but it was split with the 24.5mm! The stars are faint enough that the diffraction rings are mostly invisible. With the 6mm,the stars were cleanly split with about 4 airy disks of dark sky between them. WDS: position angle: 70, Sep: 1.4, Mv: 8.9, Mvb: 8.97, Sp: F2 |
| STF2920 | D | 22h 34m 31.57s | 4° 13m 20s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 18:30:00 | White and Yellow, an unequal pair. |
| STF 22 | D | 0h 17m 24.5s | 8° 52m 34s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 19:00:00 | A very nice, slightly unequal pair. Both light yellow. |
| STF 40 | D | 0h 35m 9.63s | 36° 49m 56s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 19:00:00 | A yellow-whitish unequal pair. The companion looked reddish at first, but after a few moments of observation, it looked white. An interesting physiological effect. |
| STF 79 | D | 1h 0m 3.56s | 44° 42m 47s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 19:00:00 | A brilliant white, slightly unequal pair, very nice. |
| STF 88 | D | 1h 5m 40.93s | 21° 28m 23s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 19:00:00 | A bright white, wide pair, tinged with yellow. Quite nice. |
| STF 102 | D | 1h 17m 47.95s | 49° 0m 30s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 19:00:00 | An OK, unequal pair, the secondary in this pair appeared red on first glance, but then seemed to whiten. A physiological effect. WDS does not list the secondary's spectral type. |
| STF 179 | D | 1h 53m 10.71s | 37° 19m 16s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 19:00:00 | A faint, close pair of white stars, fuzzing in and out in tonight's unsteady seeing. Best in the 12.5. Both the 6 and 8.8 showed blobs, and the 25.4 was not enough magnification. |
| STF 113 | D | 1h 19m 48.28s | -0° 30' 32" | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 20:00:00 | An elongated blob in tonight's poor seeing. This should be revisited on a steadier night. |
| SW Cet | V | 1h 38m 29.26s | 1° 21m 45.7s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 20:00:00 | Confirmed sighting with the PSS plate of the region. Last year's sighting was accurate as well. For an M7 star, it sure looked white. |
| STF 155 | D | 1h 44m 15.19s | 9° 29m 2s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 20:00:00 | A pretty pair, forming the base of an isosceles triangle triangle of stars. A nice asterism! |
| STF 208 | D | 2h 3m 39.25s | 25° 56m 7s | C-8 | B | 2007-11-27 20:00:00 | A barely elongate blob in this unsteady seeing. A revisit is in order. |
| STF 750 | D | 5h 35m 31.06s | -4° 21' 50" | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | Primary appears elongated. A nice unequal double of white stars. |
| STF1083 | D | 7h 25m 35.3s | 20° 29m 42s | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | Exquisite, the only bright stars in the field. |
| STF1103 | D | 7h 30m 33.6s | 5° 15m 16s | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | A nice, unequal pair PA approximately 270. WDS gives 245. |
| STF1116 | D | 7h 34m 32.01s | 12° 18m 16s | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | A nice, close pair |
| STF1121 | D | 7h 36m 35.71s | -14° 29' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | A splendid pair in the cluster M47. A superb field. |
| N_2422 | N | 7h 36m 36s | -14° 30' 0" | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | A sparse, but bright open cluster containing the exquisite double Struve 1121. |
| STF1138 | D | 7h 45m 29.14s | -14° 41' 25" | C-8 | B | 2007-12-18 02:30:00 | A nice, wide pair. A bright star, 5 mv is also in the field. |
| STF 136 | D | 1h 34m 51.61s | 12° 33m 31s | C-8 | B | 2007-12-31 19:00:00 | An wide, lackluster pair. |
| STF 138 | D | 1h 36m 2.85s | 7° 38m 42s | C-8 | B | 2007-12-31 19:00:00 | A nice, close pair, cleanly split with the 12.5. |
| STF 274 | D | 2h 31m 29.87s | 1° 5m 39s | C-8 | B | 2007-12-31 19:00:00 | A lovely, wide pair of almost equally bright white stars. |
| STF 323 | D | 2h 52m 39.65s | 6° 28m 29s | C-8 | B | 2007-12-31 19:00:00 | A splendid little pair |
| S 390 | D | 0h 58m 9.75s | -15° 40' 58" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-01 19:00:00 | An exquisite pair of white stars. |
| STF 280 | D | 2h 34m 7.49s | -5° 38' 7" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-01 19:00:00 | The seeing tonight was terrible. I elongated the star in PA 0. |
| STF 334 | D | 2h 59m 22.43s | 6° 39m 7s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-01 19:00:00 | The seeing tonight was terrible. I elongated the star in PA 300. |
| N_1049 | N | 2h 39m 42s | -34° 17' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | Without a finder chart, this would never have been seen. Like IC 1257, it's a small, low contrast smudge in the night sky, barely seen with averted vision. With this cluster, I've seen every globular in the NGC and IC north of -50 declination. |
| N_1380 | N | 3h 36m 30s | -34° 59' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A nondescript smudge, easily seen with averted vision. |
| N_1381 | N | 3h 36m 36s | -35° 18' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | Just south of 1380, a bit fainter than 1380. |
| N_1387 | N | 3h 37m 0s | -35° 31' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A faint, low contrast brightening of the sky. |
| N_1389 | N | 3h 37m 12s | -35° 45' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A faint glow in the fornax cluster. |
| N_1399 | N | 3h 38m 30s | -35° 27' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | The brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster. |
| N_1404 | N | 3h 38m 54s | -35° 35' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A fairly brightest galaxy in the Fornax cluster. |
| N_1514 | N | 4h 9m 12s | 30° 47m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A very low contrast smudge about a 9th mv K star. |
| N_2323 | N | 7h 3m 12s | -8° 20' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | A large (15-20 arc minute), loose cluster of star chains. Whether this effect was due to actual stellar formations as chains or an illusion of my visual processing is unknown. The cluster is in a very rich region of the milky way. A splendid wide field view. |
| RY Mon | V | 7h 6m 56.31s | -7° 33' 20.41" | C-8 | P | 2008-01-03 20:00:00 | Perhaps redder than R Lep. Approximately 9 mv. |
| HJ 2043 | D | 1h 22m 30.47s | -19° 4' 52" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 19:00:00 | This pair was in the trees but I found it nonetheless. Hardly worth the effort. |
| HJ 2052 | D | 1h 31m 33.96s | -19° 1' 22" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A very wide, swept up double in position angle 120 (WDS: 115°, 2001). I saw them as 6th mv, WDS: 6.9 - 7.5 |
| STF 147 | D | 1h 41m 44.84s | -11° 19' 28" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | I saw an elongation at approximately 250° position angle, but it was slight. Not the 3.5" listed. Perhaps revisit this with a finder chart? |
| STF 150 | D | 1h 43m 22.43s | -7° 4' 37" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A nice, wide white pair. With the exception of a few averted vision faint stars, the only stars visible in the 24.5 field. A nice effect. |
| STF 231 | D | 2h 12m 47.54s | -2° 23' 37" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A nice, wide pair, of yellow white and white stars. Oddly, the 5.7 mv yellow white star is listed as an F8, whereas the 7.7 mv white one is a G1. The dimmer the star, the harder to see its colors. |
| STF 287 | D | 2h 38m 59.77s | 14° 51m 37s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A run of the mill pair. I saw PA as approximately 80, WDS as 74. |
| STF 330 | D | 2h 57m 10.61s | -0° 34' 28" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A dull pair in position angle 190 (WDS: 191). |
| STF 546 | D | 4h 27m 0.62s | 19° 7m 3s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | An OK pair. position angle 200. WDS: 182. |
| STF 545 | D | 4h 27m 4.84s | 18° 12m 27s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | An average pair, position angle 60. WDS: 64. |
| STF 559 | D | 4h 33m 33.04s | 18° 1m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A gorgeous close pair of B9 stars. One of the finest in the sky. An under reported pair of gems. |
| KS Mon | V | 6h 19m 44.19s | -5° 17' 2.47" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | A very pale red star of approximately 9 mv. |
| N_2219 | N | 6h 23m 24s | -4° 41' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:00:00 | This does not seem to be a cluster at all. More like a chance grouping of 6 or 7 bright (7 - 9 mv) Milky way stars. WikiSky does not list it, and a quick look at the PSS confirms it. One of John Hershel's errors. |
| N_1535 | N | 4h 14m 12s | -12° 44' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:30:00 | A pastel blue planetary nebula, looking like an out of focus star in the 24.5. The sky was becoming cloudy, a clear sky might have shown more detail. |
| SY Eri | V | 5h 9m 48.28s | -5° 30' 49.77" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-04 21:30:00 | A very pale brick red star of approximately 9.5 mv. |
| STF 535 | D | 4h 23m 16.83s | 11° 22m 40s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-08 19:00:00 | Not found despite a finder chart. |
| N_1662 | N | 4h 48m 30s | 10° 56m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-08 19:00:00 | A loose open cluster, swept up when looking for a double (Struve 535!) with a poorly aligned telescope. Obviously a cluster, but unspectacular. |
| BU 6 | D | 1h 44m 43.67s | -6° 45' 58" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-09 19:00:00 | A very difficult double. The 9th magnitude secondary was almost invisible in the glare of the 6.7 mv primary. PA observed as approximately 170°. WDS: 163°. |
| STF 535 | D | 4h 23m 16.83s | 11° 22m 40s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-09 19:00:00 | The star was found, but not split. The seeing just wasn't good enough. WDS gives the pair as position angle: 275, Sep: 2.0, Burnham at position angle: 300, Sep: 1.1, and lists the separation as "decreasing". It could well be under an arc second. I saw a slight elongation in PA 260°. |
| STF1355 | D | 9h 27m 16.69s | 6° 13m 59s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | This was elongated in position angle 130°. WDS gives 328°. Burnham gives 345, and claims it's a common proper motion pair. Worth another look. |
| STF1357 | D | 9h 28m 20.51s | -9° 59' 12" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | The companion was quite faint, as advertised. This would be a challenge in a smaller telescope. |
| STF1365 | D | 9h 31m 31.26s | 1° 27m 55s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A close little pair, alternatively split and elongated in tonight's winds. Pa approximately 170, WDS: position angle 162°. |
| STF1367 | D | 9h 32m 11.77s | -10° 50' 37" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A rather dull double. |
| STF1367 | D | 9h 32m 11.77s | -10° 50' 37" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A rather dull double. PA approximately 190°. WDS: position angle 183. |
| W Sex | V | 9h 50m 58.59s | -2° 1' 43.54" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A dusky red star of 8.9 mv. It looked like a yellow star seen through a dark, red brown filter. |
| STF1399 | D | 9h 57m 2.2s | 19° 45m 44s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | An easy, lackluster pair. PA 180. WDS position angle 175 |
| STF1426 | D | 10h 20m 32.32s | 6° 25m 47s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A nice, unequal pair. PA approximately 75°. WDS: position angle 9. Quite a difference! There is a 5.6 mv M3 star, DE Leonis, 5 arc minutes west. Overall, a pretty field. |
| STF1466 | D | 10h 43m 20.9s | 4° 44m 51s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | AKA 35 Ser. A very nice pair of yellow stars, position angle approximately 230°. WDS: position angle 239°. |
| V Hya | V | 10h 51m 37.24s | -21° 14' 59.74" | C-8 | B | 2008-01-16 03:00:00 | A deep red star with a touch of brown. Approximately 9 mv. A beautiful sight. AAVSO lists the maximum mv as 10.9. It was brighter than this. |

| STF 90 | D | 1h 5m 49.21s | 4° 54m 31s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-23 19:15:00 | A very pale yellow pair, not bad for a wide double. |
| STF 98 | D | 1h 12m 52.98s | 32° 4m 31s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-23 19:15:00 | A nice, unequal double in a fine field. |

| STF 186 | D | 1h 55m 53.8s | 1° 50m 59s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-25 20:00:00 | A difficult double. I saw 1" separation at position angle 250, WDS: 1.4" at position angle 246. |

| STF 728 | D | 5h 30m 47.05s | 5° 56m 53s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-30 19:00:00 | The secondary of this bright pair was almost lost in a jumble of diffraction spots caused by tonight's clear, but somewhat unsteady air. The star was not elongated by the 24.5, it took the 4 to show this. PA approximately 45°. WDS: 45° pa. |
| STF 730 | D | 5h 32m 14.14s | 17° 3m 29s | C-8 | B | 2008-01-30 19:00:00 | A splendid pair of blue white stars. Position angle approximately 150°. WDS: 142. |

| N_1807 | N | 5h 10m 42s | 16° 32m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-02 21:00:00 | A large, (~ 40 arc minute), loose cluster of 10 or so bright stars. At the center is a double, 5", position angle 270, 8 - 9 mv. WDS identifies it as HJ 3268, 10", position angle 268, 9.4 - 10.1. |
| N_1817 | N | 5h 12m 6s | 16° 42m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-02 21:00:00 | Too faint for tonight's moisture laden skies. |

| STF 921 | D | 6h 31m 9.56s | 11° 15m 5s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-02 21:00:00 | The companion appeared very faint, approximately 10.5 mv, instead of it's reported 9th mv. This was due to my corrector plate dewing up. I saw a position angle of 0°, WDS:3, 2007. |
| STF 926 | D | 6h 31m 40.53s | 5° 46m 8s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-02 21:00:00 | This pair might have looked a bit better in darker skies, but it was lackluster tonight. Position angle: 300°, WDS: 287°. |
| STF 924 | D | 6h 32m 18.52s | 17° 47m 3s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-02 21:00:00 | A nice, white bright pair. Pa approximately 220°, WDS: 218°. |
| STF 997 | D | 6h 56m 6.65s | -14° 2' 36" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-02 21:00:00 | Missed. |

The secondary, while not faint at 6.7 mv, was hidden in the bubbling diffraction pattern of the bright (4 mv) primary. It appeared to lie on the third diffraction ring, but the seeing was not perfect, and the rings were dancing madly about. |
| STF1575 | D | 11h 51m 57.56s | 8° 49m 48s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-08 02:45:00 | A wide, very pale yellow and blue pair with a position angle of 210°. WDS: 214°. |
| RU Vir | V | 12h 47m 18.73s | 4° 8m 42.85s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-08 02:45:00 | A very red star, despite its faintness. I estimated it was between 10.5 and 11 mv, AAVSO gave it 10.2. |
| STF1692 | D | 12h 56m 1.67s | 38° 19m 6s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-08 02:45:00 | Aka Cor Caroli. A gorgeous pair of stars, one white, the other pale yellow. |

A lovely triple of white stars, with a slight bit of yellow. I guessed type F. BS makes them out as A1 - A1 - A5. So much for visual spectrascopy! Imprecise. |
| N_2287 | N | 6h 47m 0s | -20° 44' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-02-10 19:00:00 | A large, loose cluster of bright white stars. Nice. |
| STF 666 | D | 5h 17m 5.79s | 33° 19m 47s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A delightful little pair, position angle: approximately 75°. WDS position angle: 75°. |
| STF 708 | D | 5h 25m 11.38s | 1° 55m 24s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | I saw position angle approximately 330°, and the separation looked greater than 2". This could have been because the seeing was quite steady. WDS: 322 degrees position angle, 2001. |
| STF 699 | D | 5h 25m 38.49s | 38° 2m 41s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | Rather dull. It would perhaps be better in a darker sky. Position angle: 350°. WDS position angle: 345°. |
| STF 716 | D | 5h 29m 16.48s | 25° 9m 1s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A splendid pair of light blue sparklers. Position angle: 220, WDS position angle: 208°. |

| STF 766 | D | 5h 40m 18.85s | 15° 21m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | At the western tip of an equilateral triangle of stars. Pa approximately 280°. WDS: 276°. |
| STF 795 | D | 5h 48m 0.2s | 6° 27m 14s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A nice, but very close pair, easily split in tonight's good seeing. Position angle: 230. WDS: 219. |
| STF 797 | D | 5h 48m 28.2s | 4° 42m 14s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A rather dull pair, position angle: 15°. WDS: 16°. |
| STF 796 | D | 5h 49m 55.52s | 31° 47m 8s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A nice little double in position angle approximately 60°. WDS position angle: 61. |
| N_2169 | N | 6h 8m 24s | 13° 57m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A cluster of 10 bright stars (brighter than 10mv), surrounded by about 10 more faint ones (fainter than 11 mv) in the form of an equilateral triangle around 15 arc minutes in size. The triangle is truncated on its southwestern point. The double Struve 848 is close to the center of the cluster. |
| STF 848 | D | 6h 8m 32.01s | 13° 58m 1s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A very nice pair, embedded in cluster NGC 2169, a cluster in the shape of an equilateral triangle which is truncated on it's southwestern point. A memorable field. |
| STF 855 | D | 6h 8m 57.9s | 2° 29m 58s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | A nice, wide pair. Pa approximately 130°. WDS position angle: 114°. |
| STF 867 | D | 6h 11m 39s | 17° 22m 39s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-14 19:00:00 | Position angle approximately 165°. WDS position angle: 156. Boring. |
| BU 184 | D | 4h 27m 55.31s | -21° 30' 14" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | An elongated blob, seen through the trees, which did not help in resolving the 1.2" pair. I saw position angle approximately 260, WDS position angle: 249. |
| STF 661 | D | 5h 13m 13.87s | -12° 56' 28" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | Thisdouble was hard to see. The companion was invisible in the 24.5 (83x),but it was plain the the 8.8 (231x). Although the separation was 3.1",the primaries light (4.4 mv) enveloped the secondary (6.8 mv). |
| S 476 | D | 5h 19m 17.43s | -18° 31' 11" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | A nice, wide pair in 205° position angle. WDS position angle: 19° (2008). Seems that we disagree as to which is primary and which is secondary. The stars are 6.3 and 6.5 mv, again, as given by the WDS. |
| DA 4 | D | 5h 35m 23.16s | -4° 50' 18" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | A very difficult star to split. WDS gives the separation as 2", it seems much closer as the bright primary swamps the secondary. I saw approximately 270° position angle, WDS gives 205°. Wikisky shows about 260°. |
| STF 991 | D | 6h 57m 1.26s | 24° 57m 27s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | A close, unequal pair, position angle 170. WDS position angle: 172. |
| STF1037 | D | 7h 12m 49.07s | 27° 13m 30s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | A rather close double (1.2"), position angle 300°. WDS: 338°. This would rate as a nice one if it wasn't so hard to split. Tonight's excellent seeing made it possible. |
| STF1044 | D | 7h 17m 8.96s | 47° 39m 18s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | A pair of 10th mv stars 10 arc minutes east of the star that are in position angle 165. 2011 update: WikiSky confirms WDS readings. A 7mv star 10' west of STF 1044 is HD 55725, and was originally confused with STF 1044. |
| STF1081 | D | 7h 24m 8.93s | 21° 27m 28s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | This unequal pair looked closer than the 1.3" given by WDS, perhaps because of the brightness difference between the two components. |
| STT 174 | D | 7h 35m 56s | 43° 1m 51s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 20:15:00 | I saw position angle approximately 80°. WDS position angle: 88°. The companion was almost overwhelmed from the glare of the primary. This 1.6" pair requires good seeing to split. |
| GO CMa | V | 6h 46m 15.5s | -12° 52' 48" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-16 21:30:00 | A dull red star, even at 10.5 mv. The GCVS and AAVSO report the maximum magnitude of the star is 13 mv. I saw 10.5, and Wikisky gives 10.27, identifying the star as TYC 5387-1068-1. AAVSO give the spectrum as C(N). I suspect that the star is a "late" one, perhaps N5, as it was quite red. |
| STF 688 | D | 5h 19m 20.87s | -10° 44' 49" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-27 20:00:00 | Lovely pair. Pale yellow, with very faint blue and red overtones. position angle approximately 275 or 95. WDS: 94. |
| HJ 3752 | D | 5h 21m 46.26s | -24° 46' 22" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-27 20:00:00 | A beautiful pair, even when seen through the trees. There is another 8th mv star, about an arc minute to the east, in the same position angle,(90 d) that adds to the lovely effect. WDS pa: 100 degrees. |
| STF 697 | D | 5h 23m 31.73s | 16° 2m 25s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-27 20:00:00 | This superb pair is part of a rather stunning sight. In the 24.5, there are a line of stars: 7.5 10.1 , 10.8, 8.1, 7.7, and 8.5 mv splitting the field. The 8.1 and the 7.7 are Struve 697. One of the unsung spectacular sights in the sky. Wow! Position angle approximately 300°, WDS: 286. Strangely enough, this was missed by Burnham, although it gets a brief mention in Webb. |
| STF 718 | D | 5h 32m 20.58s | 49° 23m 36s | C-8 | B | 2008-02-27 20:00:00 | A splendid pair of almost identical stars, position angle approximately 90°. WDS: 73°. |
| STF 734 | D | 5h 33m 7.34s | -1° 43' 2" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-27 20:00:00 | A dull double, compared to the rest of the night's viewing. Position angle 245, WDS: 248. |

Initially they looked like the K stars they are, but after staring at them for a while, they looked more like F stars. Stellar color is a very subjective thing, sans photoelectric devices. |
| N_2309 | N | 6h 56m 12s | -7° 12' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-02-28 20:00:00 | An approximately 5 arc minute cluster of faint stars (10mv and below). Swept up while looking for W mon. Burnham gives 4 arc minutes, and stars 12mv and below. |

| STF1755 | D | 13h 32m 22s | 36° 49m 5s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-10 03:00:00 | A nice, close, unequal pair, position angle ~ 150 degrees. |
| STF1785 | D | 13h 49m 4s | 26° 58m 47s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-10 03:00:00 | The stars seem to be more equal in brightness than the 7.36 - 8.15 values given in the WDS indicate. A very pretty pair of K stars. |
| STF1788 | D | 13h 54m 58.3s | -8° 3' 31" | C-8 | B | 2008-03-10 03:00:00 | This pair seemed to be wider than WDS's measure of 2.8". I saw the position angle as being 100°, and WDS gives 100°, 2010. |
| STF1793 | D | 13h 59m 5.24s | 25° 48m 57s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-10 03:00:00 | A nice pair of white stars, position angle approximately 250°. |

| STF 745 | D | 5h 34m 49.11s | -6° 0' 22" | C-8 | B | 2008-03-12 21:00:00 | A dull, wide pair, easily overlooked because of its proximity to iota orionis and the great nebula to the north. |
| STF1596 | D | 12h 4m 16.6s | 21° 27m 33s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-17 03:00:00 | A very nice unequal pair. The unsteady diffraction patterns in tonight's unsteady skies sometime took on the look of another very close companion to the primary. |

| STF1777 | D | 13h 43m 3.7s | 3° 32m 16s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-17 03:00:00 | A dull pair, despite the bright primary. |

| NP Her | V | 16h 17m 9.53s | 25° 51m 19.06s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-17 03:00:00 | The star hardly displayed any color at all. White with a tinge of red. It's perhaps the faintness, as it was as bright as a 10.5 mv (Tycho) or 11.4 (Hipparcos) star. |
| STF1768 | D | 13h 37m 27.7s | 36° 17m 41s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-25 03:00:00 | Hardto split because of the bright primary, position angle approximately100°. WDS position angle: 82. The secondary sat on the primary's 2nddiffraction ring. |

| TW Oph | V | 17h 29m 44.06s | -19° 28' 30.74" | C-8 | B | 2008-03-25 03:00:00 | A lovely, deep red star, like an ember in a fireplace. It was the brightest star in the field, at approximately 6.8 mv. This was much brighter than GCVS's listed range of 11.6-13.8. C-8 |
| STFA 34 | D | 17h 34m 36.68s | 9° 35m 12s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-25 03:00:00 | A wide pair, lackluster. |

| S Sct | V | 18h 50m 19.98s | -7° 54' 32.26" | C-8 | B | 2008-03-25 03:00:00 | A pale red 7.0 mv star. It was the brightest in the area. T Sct was not seen. S Sct sits at the western point of an equilateral triangle of 7-8 mv stars. A nice geometric figure. |
| CZ Mon | V | 6h 44m 41.6s | 3° 19m 3.07s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-29 21:30:00 | A ruddy orange red star of 9.5 mv, as determined by comparison stars of8.6 and 9.7 mv. NGC 2270, also in the field, was unseen. |
| STF1009 | D | 7h 5m 40.05s | 52° 45m 27s | C-8 | B | 2008-03-29 21:30:00 | This pretty pair looked decidedly lackluster through a layer of cloud. Warrants a revisit, as in clear skies it's probably exquisite. |
| STF1627 | D | 12h 18m 9.56s | -3° 56' 55" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 02:00:00 | An OK wide pair of white stars. |

| STF1930 | D | 15h 19m 18.79s | 1° 45m 55s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 02:00:00 | Aka 5 Serpens. The secondary is rather faint, WDS reports it as 10.11 mv, although it looked 9 mv to me. A truly dull double, noticeable only because it's 15 arc minutes south of M5. |
| STF1998 | D | 16h 4m 22.14s | -11° 22' 23" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 02:00:00 | Aka Xi Sco. Found but not split in tonight's turbulent skies. Struve 1999 is in the same field, making a sort of double double. |
| STF1999 | D | 16h 4m 26.71s | -11° 26' 59" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 02:00:00 | A dim pair just south of Xi Sco. |
| N_6218 | N | 16h 47m 12s | -1° 57' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 02:00:00 | As large as M5, but more sparse. This cluster needs rural skies to be seen to full advantage. |
| STF2130 | D | 17h 5m 20.12s | 54° 28m 12s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 02:00:00 | A lovely, close pair, barely split in tonight's bad seeing. |

| VX Gem | V | 7h 12m 48.43s | 14° 36m 4.77s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | An interesting approximately 8mv star. It looks like a gray star seen through a red filter. |
| BE CMi | V | 7h 36m 28.07s | 2° 4m 20.9s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A dull, orange brown star of 8.4 mv |
| RY Hya | V | 8h 20m 6.55s | 2° 45m 58.14s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | An 8mv star looking a pale, dusky red. |
| STF1369 | D | 9h 35m 23.62s | 39° 57m 26s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A wide, dull pair in an interesting field, with a star about an arc minute north, and two bright stars south of it, 42 Lynx and HD82741. Best at low power, 36x. |
| R Leo | V | 9h 47m 33.6s | 11° 25m 49.01s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A deep orange red 7.6 Mv star. Its red was stronger than many N stars, it's the reddest M star I've ever seen. |
| CW Leo | V | 9h 47m 57.64s | 13° 16m 48.09s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | The field was found, but CW Leo was too faint for me to see. |
| HO 50 | D | 11h 13m 40.08s | 41° 5m 19s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A close double that was not split, despite a careful examination at 400x. It's unlikely that the pair is separated by WDS's declared 3.1 arc seconds. |
| STF1520 | D | 11h 16m 4.03s | 52° 46m 23s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A nice, wide pair. |
| STF1523 | D | 11h 18m 10.92s | 31° 31m 45s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A bright, close pair. Two Airy discs enveloped in a shimmering envelope of diffraction rings. |
| STF1622 | D | 12h 16m 7.54s | 40° 39m 36s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-02 21:30:00 | A pretty, unequal colored pair, orange and light blue. |
| N_4736 | N | 12h 50m 54s | 41° 7m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-04-02 23:00:00 | A fuzzy star surrounded by a faint envelope in tonight's clear, unsteady skies. As well as I've ever seen a galaxy from the backyard. |
| STF1183 | D | 8h 6m 27.41s | -9° 14' 40" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A wide, pretty pair. |
| Y Hya | V | 9h 51m 3.53s | -23° 0' 59.3" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A gray-deep orange star of ~7 mv. It was in the cherry tree, and quite alone in the 36x field. None of the stars in the finder chart were visible, because of foliage and light pollution. |
| S 605 | D | 9h 54m 6.69s | 4° 56m 43s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A somewhat dull, wide pair. |
| N_3242 | N | 10h 24m 48s | -18° 38' 0" | C-8 | P | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A light blue featureless disk with fuzzy edges. It appeared to be about 20" in diameter to me. The outer envelope was not visible. This was observed through the foliage of the cherry tree, so it is not too surprising that little was seen. |
| S 617 | D | 10h 53m 24.96s | -2° 15' 18" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A lackluster pair. |
| STF1659 | D | 12h 35m 43.75s | -12° 1' 30" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A very interesting pair of stars, 8 and 8.5 mv (WDS), (they looked 7.5 and 8 to me). They are between two 6th mv stars, which are themselves about 6 arc minutes apart. The entire group is listed as Struve 1659. It was swept up while looking for M 104, NGC 4594, which was obliterated by Washington's light pollution. |
| STF1764 | D | 13h 37m 44s | 2° 22m 56s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-12 21:30:00 | A dull double. |
| N_4594 | N | 12h 40m 0s | -11° 37' 0" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | AKA M 104. A difficult object in tonight's moonwashed skies. I missed it altogether two nights ago. It was a faint, small (7 arc minute) streak slightly brighter towards the middle. It would be superb in dark skies. |
| STF1678 | D | 12h 45m 26.16s | 14° 22m 24s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A wide, dull pair. |
| STF1740 | D | 13h 23m 39.15s | 2° 43m 24s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A nice, wide, pair of pale yellow stars. These are G5s and one would have thought they would look yellower, like sunlight, which spectrally they closely resemble. Their faintness and the grey-blue cast of the moonlit, light polluted skies renders them as pale yellow. |
| SHJ 179 | D | 14h 25m 29.91s | -19° 58' 11" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A wide, OK pair, seen through the cherry blossoms. They would probably look better without the foliage. |
| SHJ 191 | D | 14h 59m 34.57s | 53° 51m 36s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | Nice wide pair with position angle approximately 150°. WDS position angle: 342. WDS PA confirmed on WikiSky. |
| STF1904 | D | 15h 4m 6.44s | 5° 29m 34s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A lovely pair, position angle approximately 355°. WDS position angle: 347. |
| SHJ 202 | D | 15h 28m 9.57s | -9° 20' 49" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | An OK very wide pair. General comment. A double's colors seem to change subtly as a function of where they are imaged on one's retina. |
| STF1988 | D | 15h 56m 45.52s | 12° 28m 40s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A nice, close pair, cleanly split at 400x. The outer diffraction patterns overlapped a bit, as this is a fairly bright pair of 7.6 - 7.8 mv stars; the WDS puts them at 2.9 arc seconds apart. |
| H 5 6 | D | 16h 11m 59.74s | -19° 27' 38" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A nice, unequal pair, seen through the Cherry's branches. |
| SHJ 264 | D | 18h 18m 43.25s | -18° 37' 10" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A nice pair in a rich field. |
| T Sct | V | 18h 55m 27.17s | -8° 11' 17.42" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-15 03:15:00 | A 9.5 (by comparison stars) pale red star. Star colors at this faintness are very hard to discern. C-8 |
| H 5 6 | D | 16h 11m 59.74s | -19° 27' 38" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-18 21:30:00 | A lackluster double, position angle 30°, measured with the reticle eyepiece (~ +/- 5 d). WDS gives 32. |
| STF1182 | D | 8h 5m 24.42s | 5° 49m 38s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | A nice, unequal double. |
| STF1255 | D | 8h 39m 43.7s | 5° 45m 54s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | An OK, wide double. |
| STF1283 | D | 8h 49m 55.86s | 14° 50m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | A nice, wide double. |
| SHJ 110 | D | 10h 4m 2.83s | -18° 6' 5" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | A very nice, wide double. |
| STT 219 | D | 10h 30m 11.48s | 50° 59m 36s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | A non existent double. There is a 7.5 mv star in the marked position (10h 30m 11.4s, +50 59' 36",J2000) but it is not double. Confirmed by Wiki sky, Burnham and K stars. |
| STF1474 | D | 10h 47m 37.92s | -15° 15' 42" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | A triple, as there is a 6.8 mv star about an arc minute south of this pair. WDS gives the separation as 6.6 arc seconds, with a position angle of 194°. My measurements concur, but the WikiSky Sloan survey plate gives their separation more as 10", if the cursor position indicator is to be trusted. Interesting pair. |
| STF1561 | D | 11h 39m 0.22s | 45° 6m 31s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-24 21:15:00 | The 6.5-8.2 pair was seen, the 6.5-9.4 pair was not seen, the position angle of the first pair, as reported by burnham as 253, WDS as 270, and me as 245°, is indeed decreasing, again as reported by Burnham. |
| STF1441 | D | 10h 30m 58.77s | -7° 38' 15" | C-8 | B | 2008-04-29 21:45:00 | The companion appears very faint in tonight's hazy skies. The pair appears to be separated by approximately 4-5 diffraction ring widths. |
| STF1555 | D | 11h 36m 17.94s | 27° 46m 52s | C-8 | B | 2008-04-29 21:45:00 | A very close pair. The two airy discs were almost touching, and the pair was surrounded by a faint envelope of intertwined, indistinct diffraction rings. I saw the position angle as 150°. WDS: 149°, 2010. |
| N_4387 | N | 12h 25m 42s | 12° 49m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | An edge on spiral, with a bright middle. |
| N_4402 | N | 12h 26m 6s | 13° 7m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small edge on, very faint. |
| N_4435 | N | 12h 27m 42s | 13° 5m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright, small elliptical. Forms a pair with NGC 4438. |
| N_4438 | N | 12h 27m 48s | 13° 1m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A faint, large, edge on spiral. |
| N_4438 | N | 12h 27m 48s | 13° 1m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | An Sa peculiar, with a diaphanous outer envelope. The envelope wasn't seen, and it looks like a bright, small elliptical. Forms a pair with NGC 4435. |
| N_4446 | N | 12h 28m 12s | 13° 55m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | This galaxy, along with NGC 4447 which is almost on top of it, (perhaps they are interacting?) is the faintest galaxy I saw tonight. They were but a persistent glowing patch of sky background. HNGC lists them as 13.8 and 14 mv. I only located them because of their proximity to NGC 4459, and it's 8 mv star just south east. |
| N_4461 | N | 12h 29m 0s | 13° 11m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKA NGC 4443. A small, bright elliptical (Burnham: S0). A pair with the fainter ngc 4458. |
| N_4458 | N | 12h 29m 0s | 13° 15m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Makes a pair with the brighter ngc 4461. HNGC lists this as 11.8 mv, but it looks fainter than that. It also lists it as an elliptical, but it was too faint for me to guess. |
| N_4459 | N | 12h 29m 0s | 13° 59m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright spiral that blinks with the 8.1 mv K star just south east of it. When you look at the star the galaxy vanishes, when you look away from it, the galaxy appears to be only a bit dimmer than the star. The "blinking" galaxy! |
| N_4468 | N | 12h 29m 30s | 14° 3m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | An extremely faint galaxy, HNGC lists it as a 12.7 mv elliptical. |
| N_4473 | N | 12h 29m 48s | 13° 26m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small elliptical with a bright middle. |
| N_4474 | N | 12h 29m 54s | 14° 4m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small, round, faint galaxy. HRNGC lists it as 11.5 mv, "pretty faint". In the same field as NGC 4459 and NGC 4468. |
| N_4476 | N | 12h 30m 0s | 12° 21m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | In the same field as M 87. An elliptical, but about four magnitudes fainter than M87. |
| N_4477 | N | 12h 30m 0s | 13° 38m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small elliptical with a faint middle. |
| N_4478 | N | 12h 30m 18s | 12° 20m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | In the same field as M 87. An elliptical, but about three magnitudes fainter than M87. |
| N_4479 | N | 12h 30m 18s | 13° 35m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A very faint, small galaxy. |
| N_4486 | N | 12h 30m 48s | 12° 24m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright elliptical with a small envelope. AKA M 87. |
| N_4501 | N | 12h 32m 0s | 14° 25m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright spiral like NGC 253, with a bright middle. AKA M 88. |
| N_4506 | N | 12h 32m 12s | 13° 25m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Another faint spiral, beyond the C-8. HNGC lists it as 12.8 mv. |
| N_4516 | N | 12h 33m 6s | 14° 34m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | HNGC lists this as a 12.5 mv spiral. It's too faint for the C-8. |
| N_4531 | N | 12h 34m 18s | 13° 5m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A very faint smudge. HNGC lists it as "faint", 11.7 mv. In general, spirals without bright middles are hard to see. |
| N_4548 | N | 12h 35m 24s | 14° 30m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A large, face on Sc, with a bright middle. Burnham: an SBb. Wiki Sky lists this as M 91. |
| N_4554 | N | 12h 35m 42s | 11° 11m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A very faint glow. WikiSky shows a pair of 13th mv stars here. Probably an NGC error, and a very easy one to make. I saw but a glow, with averted vision, and no double star. Other internet sources confirm that this is indeed an NGC error. |
| N_4552 | N | 12h 35m 42s | 12° 33m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small, bright round elliptical with a bright middle. AKA M 89. |
| N_4564 | N | 12h 36m 24s | 11° 26m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A small, uniformly bright spot. It looks like a faint planetary nebula. Burnham lists it as an E6, and its WikiSky photo confirms this. The nucleus does look round. Next time more power than 36x needs to be applied. |
| N_4568 | N | 12h 36m 36s | 11° 14m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A pair of galaxies, with NGC 4567 an arc minute to the north. At 36x, these looked like a single galaxy. They need to be re-examined with higher power. |
| N_4569 | N | 12h 36m 48s | 13° 10m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | An Andromeda like spiral, but much smaller! Bright middle. AKA M90. |
| N_4579 | N | 12h 37m 42s | 11° 49m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKA M 58. A bright, face on Sb/Sa/E0/? Burnham lists it as an Sb. |
| N_4584 | N | 12h 38m 18s | 13° 7m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Too faint for my C-8. HNGC lists it as 12.8 mv spiral, but that's spread over a couple of square arc minutes of sky. |
| N_4596 | N | 12h 39m 54s | 10° 11m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A spiral with a bright middle, half a degree west of 5th magnitude Rho Vir. Burnham lists it as an S0/SBa. NGC 4608 is between Rho and NGC 4596. |
| N_4606 | N | 12h 41m 0s | 11° 55m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A faint, small, smudge. It looks like an Sb in it's WikiSky photo. There was no sign of the companion galaxy, NGC 4607, an edge on Sc of 13th mv. |
| N_4608 | N | 12h 41m 12s | 10° 9m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A spiral between NGC 4596 and Rho Vir. Burnham lists it as an A0/Sba. It's nucleus is fainter than NGC 4596's. |
| N_4621 | N | 12h 42m 0s | 11° 39m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKA M 59. Like a fuzzy star. Small but bright. I suspected it was a Seyfert, Burnham notes it is a massive elliptical, but considerably smaller than the milky way. |
| N_4638 | N | 12h 42m 48s | 11° 26m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A faint, almost star like, galaxy. There was no sign of the much fainter NGC 4637. Both galaxies appear to be spirals on WikiSky's photographic atlas, although HNGC lists NGC 4638 as an elliptical. Burnham lists it as an E5/S0. |
| N_4649 | N | 12h 43m 42s | 11° 33m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | AKAM 60. A bright elliptical, with fainter NGC 4647 just 3 arc minutes or so away to the north west. I suspect that the two are interacting, but photos do not show any significant distortion of the outer envelopes. A chance line up? Hard to tell. I saw both galaxies as spirals, but only NGC 4647 is. Burnham lists it as an Sc. |
| N_4654 | N | 12h 44m 0s | 13° 8m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A large, diffuse galaxy. Burnham lists it as an Sc. |
| N_4754 | N | 12h 52m 18s | 11° 19m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright, edge on spiral. Burnham lists it as an S0. |
| N_4762 | N | 12h 52m 54s | 11° 14m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | A bright, edge on spiral, brighter than NGC 4754, with its outer envelope somewhat irregular. |
| STF1689 | D | 12h 55m 30.32s | 11° 29m 46s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-04 22:30:00 | Nicepair. The primary is a red orange M star, the secondary looks like an For G. I guessed the separation was 25", WDS give it as 28.1". 7 - 9 mv. |
| STF2007 | D | 16h 6m 2.82s | 13° 19m 15s | C-8 | B | 2008-05-14 01:00:00 | The position angle was measured at 315°, and the separation was 39". WDS: position angle 329, sep: 31.9" |
| STF2232 | D | 17h 50m 15s | 25° 17m 27s | C-8 | B | 2008-05-14 01:00:00 | I measured 140° position angle, and 7 arc second separation. WDS: position angle: 140, separation: 6.5", 2007. A lackluster double. |
| STF2277 | D | 18h 3m 8.86s | 48° 27m 51s | C-8 | B | 2008-05-14 01:00:00 | I measured 130° position angle, and 29.4 arc second separation. WDS: position angle: 128, separation: 27.6". A lackluster double. |
| STF2316 | D | 18h 27m 12.51s | 0° 11m 46s | C-8 | B | 2008-05-14 01:00:00 | I measured 320° position angle, and 5 arc second separation. WDS: position angle: 320°, separation: 3.5". An unequal pair. |
| STF2417 | D | 18h 56m 14.63s | 4° 12m 7s | C-8 | B | 2008-05-14 01:00:00 | AKA theta serpentis. A very fine pair. |
| N_3587 | N | 11h 14m 48s | 55° 1m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | The "owl" nebula. A faint planetary. It's surprising that Messier found it at all. The "eyes" were barely visible. Had I not known they were there, I would not have seen them. |
| N_4258 | N | 12h 19m 0s | 47° 18m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | An almost (~ 70° tilt) edge on Sb spiral, with only a hint of mottling in the arms. |
| N_4261 | N | 12h 19m 24s | 5° 49m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A bright, round, elliptical. Burnham: E2. |

| N_4370 | N | 12h 24m 54s | 7° 27m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint, small smudge. A 45° spiral? No. An edge on with a huge dust lane, like NGC 5128. |
| N_4464 | N | 12h 29m 24s | 8° 10m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A faint, fuzzy starlike object. Brighter than 4467. Not in Burnham, but HRNGC lists it as a spiral. In the sloan survey photo, it looks like an S0. |
| N_4467 | N | 12h 29m 30s | 8° 0m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | An extremely faint smudge. HRNGC lists it as 14th mv! Surprising I saw it at all, but it's an elliptical, and these look like fuzzy stars, rather than extended nebulae. |
| N_4469 | N | 12h 29m 30s | 8° 45m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A medium bright streak, in position angle approximately 70°. Burnham lists it as an edge on Sb. |

| N_4526 | N | 12h 34m 0s | 7° 42m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A bright, large almost face on Sc spiral (?) with a small nucleus, between 2 7 mv stars. position angle approximately 120. (the faint outer arms, easily seen in photos, were washed out by the stars) (Burnham: E7/ S0) |
| N_4535 | N | 12h 34m 18s | 8° 12m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A large, dim, globular. The stars were resolved with averted vision. Wrong! It's a face on SBc spiral (Burnham)! The patchy arms looked starlike. |
| N_4559 | N | 12h 36m 0s | 27° 58m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A large irregular blob. dim but quite mottled, with no distinct nucleus. Burnham: Sc. |
| N_4565 | N | 12h 36m 18s | 25° 59m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | This superb edge on gives the illusion of having the edges of its spiral arms appear to be spread out, which photos prove does not happen. |
| N_4570 | N | 12h 36m 54s | 7° 15m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A streak with a bright middle, position angle approximately 170°. Sb spiral? (Burnham: E8/S0) |

There was a bit of granularity in the outer parts. An illusion? No. It's a face on Sb, the granularity was the spiral arms. |
| N_4747 | N | 12h 51m 48s | 25° 47m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A very faint, medium sized blob. In its Sloan photo, it looks like an Sc than has undergone a collision. |
| N_5055 | N | 13h 15m 48s | 42° 2m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | An Sc titled at 45°, with lots of mottling in the arms. (Burnham: Sb). A superb sight on a dark night. |

| N_6205 | N | 16h 41m 42s | 36° 28m 0s | C-8 | B | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | This cluster was truly dazzling, as when observed with my well dark adapted eye, it looked extremely bright with hundreds of stars enveloped in a bright nebulosity of all the fainter ones. |
| N_6207 | N | 16h 43m 6s | 36° 50m 0s | C-8 | P | 2008-05-28 23:00:00 | A streak in position angle 30°. Sb? Burnham: Sc. Just NE of M 13. |

| STF2492 | D | 19h 18m 32.48s | 1° 5m 6s | C-8 | B | 2008-06-12 01:30:00 | A very difficult pair, with the primary swamping the close secondary.

The elongation was invisible in the 30mm, barely discernable in the 12.5, and obvious in the 5mm. In the 5, it looked as if Antare's diffraction pattern had a permanent spike in it at position angle 270. |
