Site classification: Suburban
Sky darkness: 4.5 <Limiting magnitude>
Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Moon presence: None - moon not in sky
Instrument: 120mm f/8.3 refractor
Magnification: 31x, 50x, 80x, 100x, 167x
Filter(s): Astronomik UHC
Object(s): IC 3568
Category: Planetary nebula.
Class:
Constellation: Cam
Data: mag 11.6 size 10"
Position: RA 12:33 DEC +82:33
Description:
This tiny planetary nebula is located at a declination of +82º and it's easy to
find from Epsilon UMi, wich is at the same declination. The bright double star 32
Cam is only 1º from the nebula. I can see IC 3568 at 50x and higher powers, with
an stellar appearance. The UHC filter makes the nebula the brightest object in the
field. With 167x I can see a very small disk, best seen when compared to well
focused stars.
