Site classification: Exurban
Sky darkness: 3 <Bortle Scale (9 worst)>
Seeing: 4 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Moon presence: None - moon not in sky
Instrument: 24" f/4.1 Ultralight Dobson
Magnification: 280x
Filter(s): OIII
Object(s): Abell 19 (PK 200+8.1), UGC 3621
Category: Planetary nebula. External galaxy.
Class: smooth disk w. traces of ring structure
Constellation: Monoceros
Data: mag ? size 34"
Position: RA 07:00 DEC +14:37
Description:
Pinned down position with DSS print.
At this position a 13-14 mag star and some fainter next to it. With 9
mm Nagler (280x) + OIII the faint stars disappear almost completely,
but instead there appears a haloshaped nebular around the brighter
star. Exactly round, not easy, only whith averted vision. I am quite
sure this is not just straylight from the star due to the filter.

I also tried galaxy UGC 3621 in the neigborhood: Faint extended glow.
