Seeing: 6 <1-10 Seeing Scale (10 best)>
Moon presence: Minor - crescent or far from object
Instrument: Bresser 4.8 inch refractor
Magnification: x40, x100
Filter(s): UHC, Deep Sky
Object(s): NGC 1883; Alpha Aurigae
Category: Open cluster.
Class:
Constellation: Auriga
Data: mag size
Position: RA 5:25 DEC +47:
Description:
Can see a tiny reflective gaseous haze emanating from a three-star asterism (mag 12?) in the same 1 degree field as Alpha Aurigae (near maximum this night) at x40, to NW of Alpha Aur. Use of filters brings out a larger field of haze around these but have no idea what this belongs to. Do not make out core even at x100.
To E of this notice an interesting quadrilateral asterism seen at x40 consisting of 7 or so mag stars. Seeing surprisingly good even with a condensation haze in the sky.
