A very interesting and unusual Messier object. In large mirror (larger than 12”) under very dark sky, you can observe central dumbbell shape and outer “arcs” of nebulosity. Very spectacular object really worth to observe.

I used 8″ F5 dobson, 13 mm Vixen LVW eyepiece, and UHC-S filter.
Conditions were good, transparency was excellent , limiting magnitude
was 5.8 but seeing wasn’t that great.

Date: 28./29. September 2011.
UT.: 17h42m-18h13m
Equipment: 252/980 Dobsonian telescope + Thousand Oaks OIII filter
Mag.: 78x
FOV: 36’
S = 6 / 10 T = 4-5 / 5
Observer: János Gábor Kernya (Hungary)
Location: Sotiras monastery, Kotronas

Media: pencil on white paper, digital work done with “Gimp 2”
Equipment: Skywatcher Equinox 100/900ED
The typical dumbbell shape wasn´t quite obvious for me. Well, at the east end i could catch a glimpse of some kind of a bay. I´m not really sure about the “ears”. But with peripheral vision there was a subtle glimmer.
Kind regards

Object Name: NGC 6853 (M 27)
Object Type: Planetary nebula
Location: Cittadella (Italy)
Date: September 10, 2010
Media: graphite pencil, white paper, inverted in Gimp
Instrument: 120 mm achromatic refractor (f/8.3)
Eyepiece: Flat Field 16 mm (62.5x) and O-III filter
Conditions: Clear with some light pollution
A classic planetary nebula observed from a suburban locality. The use of the O-III filter really improves the observation of this object.
Clear skies,

Good morning,
I send you my sketch of planetary nebula NGC 2392. I made it on last tuesday. I like planetary nebulas and this is my favourite. Sketch was made on white paper with pencil. Then I inverted in Photoshop.
Clear sky,
Tom Perdoch
