(IAAC) Campbell's star PK 64+5 1 (PN G064.7+05.0) - 8inch F/10
Observer: Yann POTHIER (France)
Your skill: advanced (many years)
Date and UT of observation: 17 August 1993, about 00h00 UT
Location & latitude: La Clapiere Obs. (France, latN44 40 00, longE06 27 36)
Site classification: rural, alt.1650m (5500ft)
Limiting magnitude (visual in UMi): 6.0
Seeing (1 to 5 - best to worst): 3
Moon up (phase?): no
Instrument: Meade SCT 8" F/10
Magnification: x80, x145, visual spectroscope
=46ilters used: OIII
Object: Campbell's star PK 64+5 1; He 2-438 (PN G064.7+05.0)
Category: Planetary Nebula
Constellation: CYG
Object data: PHmag=3D9.6; dim.8"x8"; type IV; central * Vmag=3D10.03;
discovered by Campbell in 1894 at Lick with a spectroscope at the 36inch;
ELCAT: [OIII 495+500]=3D0xHbeta!!!
RA/DE: 19h34.8m, +30=B031' (2000); Uranometria 118/Sky Atlas 8
Description: at 80x with straightprism spectroscope, it is a typical
emission spectra, continuous with some stellar nodosities scattered on it;
hard to locate when you are prepared for a typical PN stellar spectra. At
145x without spectro, stellar of about mag10; OIII filter gives nothing;
still stellar at 312x.
I can provide a scanned drawing of Campbell's star to anyone who can read
the binhex encoding of Eudora (for Mac); just mail me to try
(ypothier@abi.snv.jussieu.fr), it works sometimes with other
configurations...
