Site classification: Suburban
Sky darkness: 5.3 <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): NGC 6369
Category: Planetary nebula.
Class:
Constellation: Oph
Data: mag 11.4 size 38"
Position: RA 17:29 DEC -23:46
Description:
Planetary nebula near Theta Oph, and sharing low power field with the bright 51
Oph. Very difficult to see at low powers, the UHC filter helps to confirm its
presence. At 167x I can only see a small fuzzy patch, round in shape and very dim.
The nebula is located on a surprisingly poor star field.
