Re: (IAAC) Obj: Unkn own - Inst: aperture=3.5 700mm Focal Length
Hi Bob
Ya we had great skies last night, and expect to have it
again tonight. For the last 2 weeks my scope has been sitting under a
canvas idling.
Whatever I seen was a very large fuzzy compared to all the
stars around it. It looked similar to M42 as far as the fuzziness
goes. I did filter it to see if any stars was within or behind it but
didn't see any. I am excited about this!! This is the first object
that I have found and have not positivily ID'ed yet.
I am going to spend all my time tonight charting the part
of the sky it is in to hopefully get an idea what it is I was/will be looking
at.
BTW, I counted 17 satellites pass overhead last night as
well as seen 8 meteorites. A record number for 1 night for me.
Hopefully tonight will be just as clear.
Mark

My NGC/IC List Generator doesn't give anything on 4622. Now there is a
Messier near by. M107 I believe(didn't look to be sure). It should be
pretty bright. Looks like you had a real good sky. Love those fuzzies! By the
way, there is no such thing as a newey question. All questions have a value.
You had me digging and I didn't come up with an exact answer.
