Description:
134X-NGC2818A appears as a faint round area of uniform brightness. The O-III
filter dims the PNe as well as the background.
254X-NGC2818A appears as a faint oval glowing spot. It is easier to find with
averted vision, but then is repeatedly found with direct vision. The O-III
filter dims it to almost invisibility. No center star was seen. It reminds me
of a tiny, faint M27's a[pple core shape.
508X-NGC2818A appears as a ghostly oval. The sides of the minor axis appear
fainter than the remainder of the disc.
