Site classification: Exurban
Sky darkness: 3- <Bortle Scale (9 worst)>
Seeing: 7 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Moon presence: None - moon not in sky
Instrument: 24" f/4.1 Ultralight Dobson
Magnification: 168x
Filter(s): OIII
Object(s): Abell 36 = PK 318+41.1
Category: Planetary nebula.
Class: Irr. w. traces of ring structure
Constellation: Virgo
Data: mag 11v8 size 400"
Position: RA 13:41 DEC -19:53
Description:
With the 15 mm Panoptic (168) there is at this position a 11-12 mag
star, which must be the central star.
--
With OIII-filter around this star a very large disk (approx. 4'
diameter) becomes visible. The 1/3-rd inner part is dimmer, so all in
all it shows a slight ring structure.
--
But it is not just a ring! I can see irregular dark structures all
over the disk! These patches are obvious to detect, but quite
difficult to localize, as they a visible with averted vision only.
--
Again, a remarkable Abell!
