Here's the image:
These are NOT very bright. Only 1122 rises to the level of LBN brightness 4; 11 is brightness 5, and 8, 10, and 19 are all brightness 6. Which is to say that these are really quite dim. Despite 170m of luminance shot at f/4 aggressive stretching is needed to pick out the nebulae. Regardless of that, I consider these good enough to satisfy the Astronomical League.
These five lift my count to 92. Where will the final eight come from?
The remaining objects [and their brightnesses] within reach are clustered.
Cluster 1 Sh 2-12 [4], Sh 2-13 [?], and NGC 6357 [?]. These three fit into a 200mm lens field. Image during July.
Cluster 1: Sh 2-12, Sh 2-13, and NGC 6357 (Lobster) |
Cluster 2 LBN 20 [4] and LBN 22 [5]. The AT65's field is perfect for this pair. Image during June or July.
Cluster 2: LBN 20 and LBN 22 |
Cluster 3: LBN 70, IC 4701, and LBN 52 |
Cluster 4: IC 4812 and NGC 6729 |
