Description:
Sheliak is a multiple star with 4 members. With binos, I split only the two main components, the others are invisible due to great difference of magnitude. The primary is yellowish and the brightness of the secondary is too low for me to give a color. In this observation, I notice an amusing 3-D effect between the primary and the secondary.

Description:
At more 20? WSW of Markab. I have many difficulties of separating this double star at the beginning but by keeping the eyes with the eyepieces, this double is easy to separate with 9x. The important gap of magnitude between the components makes separation more difficult. The primary is yellow-gold and secondary is too weak to estimate its colour. I do not note Pendulum effect. It's the "Pendulum-like oscillation", observed for the first time by William Herschel. Probably that the enlargement of my instrument is insufficient to note it. On this subject, read Burnham's vol. III, page 1372.

Description:
At more 4? of Enif NW. At the beginning, I have difficulty it of locating but I succeeded in finding it after a few minutes. These difficulties come from the high degree of concentration of this cluster, which seemed to be a star at the time of research. This cluster shows a strong concentration with the binoculars. It's visible in direct vision and the center appears, at this time, also shining like a star. In averted vision, a halo was visible all around the center. The dimension of this halo was not very large, another proof of the high degree of concentration.

shows a few more stars but the center remains unresolved though it appears 
granular. The diameter of 6553 is approx 5?. The GC does not brighten much 
towards the center and looks like a little concentrated object.

Object(s): SN 2004et
Category: Extragalactic star.
Class: Type II supernova
Constellation: Cepheus
Data: mag 12.8  size 
Position: RA 20h:35m25s.4  DEC +60d:07'17".6
Description:
 
At approximately 00:30 UT on Friday night I observed the recently discovered supernova SN 2004et in Cepheus using the 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain at the ASH Naylor Observatory (see http://www.astrohbg.org/gallery2/Tour-of-N...-Naylor/17_inch for a photograph of this instrument). This bright type II supernova was discovered on 2004/09/22.983 by Stefano Moretti. It is located in the SAB face-on spiral galaxy NGC 6946 at R.A. = 20h35m25s.4, Declination = +60?07'17".6 (U2000.0, page 20) and is positioned 247".1 east and 115".4 south of the nucleus of its host galaxy. The magnitude of SN 2004et is currently estimated to be 12.8. A finder chart is available at http://www.skyhound.com/sh/SN2004et.gif (click on the image to expand). 

Although NGC 6946 has a relatively bright integrated magnitude of 8.8, its extremely low surface brightness of 14.2 magnitudes per square arc minute makes it a somewhat difficult target, particularly at a site that has been compromised by the glare of suburban sprawl, and with the rather mediocre transparency I was unable to see the galaxy at all. (The open cluster NGC 6939, which is a close neighbor of NGC 6946, was easily viewed at 162x.) I was able to identify the supernova by a triangle of fairly bright field stars that lie to the south of the galaxy (browse the image at http://www.ngc7000.org/ccd/sn2004et-20040929-m.jpg for the location of the supernova and the field stars). Observations were done at 162 and 259x using 40 and 25mm University Optics MK-70 oculars respectively. The supernova and a nearby field star of similar brightness that was farther east were not difficult to discern. 

Prior to the supernova I observed the open clusters NGC 225 and NGC 457 (the Owl Cluster) and the planetary nebula NGC 40. Afterwards two more open clusters NGC 7789 and M52, the planetary nebula NGC 7662 (the Blue Snowball), and the spiral galaxy NGC 7331 were targets as the rising Moon made life hard for deep-sky objects. 

Conditions were much better at the Naylor Observatory on Sunday night. I was able to see SN 2004et through a fellow ASH member's 10" f/10 Meade LX200 with absolutely no difficulty. This time in the process of viewing the supernova I could make out hints of its faint host galaxy NGC 6946 through the 17" f/15 classical Cassegrain at 162 and 259x. I also observed NGC 663 (a fine open cluster in Cassiopeia), NGC 6939, M31, M32, M15, NGC 7479 (a barred spiral galaxy in Pegasus), NGC 7662, and NGC 7640 (a faint and elongated edge-on spiral galaxy in Andromeda not far from NGC 7640) during a short observing session. 

This is the eighth supernova to have been recorded in NGC 6946, which is a new record. A list of the others can be seen at http://www.seds.org/messier/xtra/ngc/n6946.html

Close to 5? SSW of Alamach. Very wide open cluster, 1? approximately in diameter, according to my estimate. I perceive 15 individual stars and this number increases in indirect vision. A weak nebulosity also appears in background. Another characteristic, portion N is more brilliant than the portion S. This distinction gives the impression of a lengthening whereas, actually, this cluster is circular form.

Description:
In Sagittarius, at ~7? N of Kaus Borealis. It is said that M24 is a perfect object for the binoculars. Made this observation this night will not contradict this fact since this cluster is of an incredible beauty with my 9x63. Dimensions of this cluster pratically fills up the field of my instrument (5,4?) and I distinguish between 20 and 25 stars individually. In background, a nebulosity is very definitely perceptible.

Description:
In Sagittarius, at ~2?? W of Kaus Australis. I have little difficulties of locating this globular cluster. It rather pale, is located at only 10? above the horizon. Very close to M69 a star is, with the position 2 hours, which is actually SAO 210259 (magv = 8,0). The diameter of this globular cluster is rather low and no concentration particular to the center. The averted vision modifies little the object, which seems round and well condensed.

Description:
In Sagittarius, halfway between the stars Ascella and Kaus Australis.

Less glittering that its neighbor, M69, M70 are seen as a very small fuzzy spot whose center does not show particular characteristics. The averted vision gives a little more shining to this globular cluster but the whole remains of modest size. Also, at position 7 or 8 hours, I perceive a second nebulous object, not far from M70. After checking, it was a small chain of four stars, magnitude between 10,2 and 11,0.

Description:
In Sagittarius, at ~1?? S-W of Ascella. Very easy to locate, M54 is a globular cluster more luminous than M69 or M70, but there remains pale taking into account it is very low above the horizon. Of low dimension, M54 does not present a peripheral halo with averted vision. By moments, I almost have the impression of a star, although the core is not stellar in apperance. Probably due to the high degree of concentration of M54. Note that this globular cluster is extragalactic, associated to a dwarf galaxy in collision with the Milky Way (Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy).

In Cetus, at ~3? S of Diphda. Very easy to locate. At the beginning of observation, low dimensions of this galaxy are noted. The averted vision however shows a lengthening in an axis NiS. The core of this galaxy is stellar in apperance, per periods of stability.

Description:
Very easy globular cluster, but harder than M 13. It looks like a small star, 
it doaesn't haves any apparent diameter. I can see them both in the same time
with the naked eye...:), which makes them a nice naked eye pair. You will need
good skies to see this good.

Position: RA 00:48  DEC -25:18
Description:
At more 7? S of Diphda. Superb galaxy, one of the most beautiful galaxies trough binos. This galaxy is visible by the edge-on and is very wide, 20' according to my estimate. Dimensions of NGC 253 are attractive and it seems a very lengthened fuzzy spot. No stellar core. Two stars of low brightness very close at SSW and a third at NNE. Lastly, NGC 253 is in an axis E-O.

I just couldn't be sure that i see this globular mainly becouse it was low in

Position: RA 00:53  DEC -26:35
Description:
At ~2? SE of NGC 253, in Sculptor. Very weak object at first sight. By using the averted vision, NGC 288 takes impressives dimensions, largely wider than the clusters of Sagittarius like M60 or M70. The small degree of concentration is obvious with the binoculars. I perceive a star of average brightness close to it, N-W. Interesting fact, when you look at NGC 288, you're very near the south galactic pole.

of different sizes; I can't see any detail in them, except resolving some stars 
in M 6, M 7 and in M 24. (?)I can't resolve Webb's cross, but I checked M 21 
too becouse the light of the two (M 21 and M 20) combine and each contribute at 
seeing something there.

Description:
In Pisces, just E of Eta Psc. If we compares with M77, M74 is much weaker in brightness and offers a very insipid spectacle in comparison of NGC 253. the galaxy thus appears a small nebulosity which shows an aspect lengthened per moments and a circular aspect in other moments. Although less brilant that M77, M74 is of bigger size and does not present luminous concentration in the core.

Description:
In Andromeda, at more 2? E of Iota And. Near the zenith, beautiful nebula with an effect of "blinking" very perceptible. By alternating direct vision with the averted vision, the effect is more spectacular. Although stellar in apperance at first sight, I note by observing attentively that the nebula isn't a dot like a star, but seems like a small oval of turquoise color.

Description:
In Aquarius, at ~5?? NW of Theta Cap. Globular cluster of low brightness, forms an equilateral triangle with 2 stars whose M72 occupies the top. As M72 is slightly luminous, it can be confused with a not very brilliant star just near E of it (this star is, in fact, TYC 5765-1843-1). It is necessary to use the averted vision frequently for seeing well the culster, who have not brilliant center.

 was in good position, scanned with Plus 130X and popped into view, nearly 
obvious with elongation, center faded but outer limbs visible. Near limit of 3 
inch aperatures excited that I at last viewed this one. My Location is nicely 
open but fighting light polution, however filter was not needed. Pleides Nebula 
was brighter than normal, also Great Orion was luming larger than prior 
viewings, a great night indeed.

Category: Globular cluster.
Class: IX
Constellation: Aql
Data: mag 9.1  size 2.4'
Position: RA 19:11  DEC 01:02
Description:
In Aquila, at ~4? S-W of Delta Sgr. Globular cluster of very low dimension, a very small nebulosity of round form. According to my estimate, this is one of the smallest globular clusters than I have ever observed and certainly of lower dimension than of the Messier catalogue. This small cluster raises a stellar core per periods.

Description:
Second attempt of summer, unfruitful. Once again, I have an impression of a form lengthened above a couple of stars forming a hook towards E, but without more. Although I am certain to see an extremely pale spot where the galaxy should be, this spot remains, still and always, too elusive with the binoculars to regard this real observation as good.

Description:
Alpha Cap, a separable double star with naked eye. Obviously, I separate well Alpha1 and Alpha2, each one raising a colour white-yellow. What I tried to find is the companion of Alpha1 but, unfortunately, it remains invisible, probably because of the large differential of brightness between 2 stars.

Double star in Capricornus, often used by the past to locate Neptune when the planet was in the surroundings (2000-2001). In the first minutes of observation, the secondary did not appeared. I saw only the primary star, which is of colour white-green. Thereafter, it appeared after a few moments, at the exact PA. Oddly, it disappeared several seconds and is reappeared then. Difficult double star with the 9x63 binoculars.

Description:
In Capricornus, located in the NW portion of the constellation. Bright double star, the components are distinguished individually with a remarkable facility. The primary is of color green and blue for the secondary. At my great surprise, I notice a third member in the system whereas, in my notes, Dabih is regarded as only double. According to my estimate, it is magv = 8 and forms an isosceles triangle with the two others. At the time of this observation, it pointed in direction E compared to the primary star. Dabih thus forms a very beautiful trio with a good contrast of color.

In Cetus, in the southern center of the constellation. I guess a little by trying to observe this double star because I did not have any PA to locate the secondary. While pointing towards Chi Cet, I see well 2 stars, the primary star is of magv ~ 6 and the secondary of magv ~ 7. My approximative estimation of PA, with a magnification of 9x, is close to 270?. The primary star is of white color whereas the secondary appeared blue.

In spite of the proximity of the components, these two stars are quite separated individually. The stars are so close so that I can't give any colour. Interesting sight, a little like Psi1 Psc but weaker.

Position: RA 00:47.1  DEC -11:52
Description:
In Cetus, at ~ 6? N of Diphda. Planetary nebula of low brightness, visible with averted vision only. This I notice much is the size of the nebula which is very easy to see at 9x. It is presented in the form of a quite round fuzzy spot and resembles a galaxy much. Also, it's seems to me to see, by moments, two stars very weak and very close, within nebula, placed in an axis NS. After checks, there are three stars inside of NGC 246 (HIP 3678, TYC 5272-1854-1 and TYC 5272-958-1), but they are very close to magnitude 12. Stars TYC 5272-1854-1 and TYC 5272-958-1 are precisely placed in the same axis.

The difference in magnitude between the components is considerable and the constellation is just above the luminous dome of the city of Ayer's Cliff (in Canada). The transparency of the sky of this night is insufficient to enable me to carry out this observation.

Description:
In Equuleus, at ~ 5? N of Kitalpha. I knew first that it will be very hard to split this double star but I tried despite everything. The problem came especially from the difference in magnitude between the components (Magv = 5,0 and 10,0) and also owing to the fact that the secondary was in extreme cases of visibility of my instrument. As envisaged, I could see only the primary star, which is of white color.

Description:
In Sculptor, located in the western portion of the constellation center. As for Equ Delta, I have poor chances to split this double star, and this, for the same reasons. With that, is necessary to add the unfavourable position of Sculptor on the sky, which is in the luminous pollution oh the city of Ayer's Cliff (Canada). As anticipated, I only seen the primary star, which is of white color.

FYI, we had a software upgrade over the weekend which rendered
all our old email archives inaccessible.

This problem should now be fixed: please let me know if any of
you encounter any other problems accessing our Websites...

Clear skies to all!

We have several observing logs in the IAAC now for both
NGC 4660 and Centaurus A (NGC 5128), Ricardo:
  http://www.visualdeepsky.org/search.html

However, I do not find any logs (yet) for NGC 4622. If
any IAAC readers have observations of this fine "wrong
way" spiral galaxy in Cen - or if you get a chance to
observe it next (Southern) Fall - please share whatever
you see with your friends here on the IAAC!

Clear skies,
Lew Gramer
