70mm f/5.7, 133x, Bortle 6-
AB-C: Not split. Although a slight brightening was visible in the first diffraction ring, it could also have come from slight coma of the refractor.
|
|
102mm f/11, 160x, Bortle 7, SQM-L 18.8, Seeing 3/5
AB-C: 2020-03-27: The much fainter companion is well visible as an almost round knot directly at the diffraction ring of the primary component. Very nice sight. The seeing was mediocre (3/5).
|
|
152mm f/5.9, 150x, Bortle 7, SQM-L 18.8, Seeing 3/5
AB-C: 2020-03-27: The companion is immediately visible as a tiny star close to the primary component. Due to the chromatic aberration of the achromat, there is a slight tendency to outshine. Nevertheless a nice view. The seeing was mediocre (3/5).

bei 45x und [OIII] ist indirekt eine Aufhellung nordnordöstlich eines helleren Sterns erkennbar - der Rand ist nicht mehr diffus, aber der Nebel ist so schwach, dass man nicht wirklich von einer Begrenzung sprechen kann, zum Norden hin ist Abell 33 am besten begrenzt - 72x und [OIII] verbessern die Sichtbarkeit und Helligkeit ein wenig - blickweise wirken seine Grenzen im Norden definierter - im Süden verhindert die Helligkeit des angrenzenden Sterns eine bessere Beobachtung - UHC bringt nichts

120mm f/5, 108x, Bortle 4, SQM-L 21.0
Conditions in the target region: SQM-L 20.5 Towards horizon the sky was unfortunately a bit hazy. At 108x the halo around the 9.43 mag star seemed to be a bit irregular, but I didn't saw the galaxy for sure. I also tried it at 50x and 75x. But I'm pretty sure, that the galaxy could be seen with this aperture under better conditions.

bei 45x ist der PN als leichte Aufhellung sichtbar - bei 72x und UHC zeigt sich der PN richtig schön als runde homogen helle gut begrenzte Scheibe - die Sternkonstellation, in der sich der PN befindet ist auffallend schön, drei hellere Sterne bilden ein gleichmäßiges Dreieck und innerhalb dieses Dreiecks stehen schwächere Sterne mit einer ähnlichen Symmetrie und eben der PN - bei 160x wirkt der PN am NW-Rand heller, vermutlich ein Effekt das am Rand stehenden indirekt sichtbaren Sternchens
