On special request (and to satisfy my own curiosity of course), here's my observation of Pease 1 yesterday evening. I don't like putting arrows on my sketches so if you want to know what it is, it's the bright little patch on the top left of the nucleus. I didn't notice it at first but when adding the UHC filters it jumped out at me, as if it were a small, detached nucleus. Circumstances were fare from ideal though, with haziness and poor transparency, but I'm happy that I found it anyway...

 

You know the drill... please click on the image

 

Cheers!

well done!  That's an impressive magnification, but I think you need it to spy the little planetary.

 

Interestingly enough, I noticed that Pease 1 is the Cosmic Challenge for this month: http://www.cloudynig...e-pease-1-r3069

 

Did Phil follow our posts??

 

I observed M15 as well yesterday (more to follow) but didn't give Pease 1 a try, I think it's too much for my 10"...

Pfiuoo, too good, what a precision and looking at your video's that must be a lot of work Peter .

Well done and bravo

[PeterDob]

Thank you so much, Martijn and Michel... You're too kind!

 

@Martijn: Wow! What a coincidence! I should post my sketch as a reply...   But don't give up! The nebula's supposed to be small but yet it lit up significantly when I put the filters on, so I'm sure that you'll see it too. Go go go!!!

 

Cheers,

Nice catch--congratulations.

Very cool, but now you'll have to do the "list" of cluster planetaries

So I'm not nuts,  you see a blue cast to this globular too?  Exquisite treatment of the stars.  Time and again,  with my 8" I get this pale steely blue cast with this globular alone.  Not M13, 92 or 4, just this one.  And here you show it!  Comments?

Gosh! What a sight.  I assume, Peter, that the glob dimmed when you added the UHC making the planetary visible?

[PeterDob]

@Chris: Er... let's just stick to this one for the moment...

 

@Pete: To me all of the bright globulars have a sort of bluish hue, especially around the stars in the core, which was what I tried to reflect in the second version of my "normal" M15 sketch. Using the UHC filters for Pease 1 the blue colour became more than obvious of course.

 

@Mark: Yes, exactly. That brighter spot stood well out, but bear in mind that Pease 1 is surrounded by 2 or 3 fairly bright stars so I can't say that I saw the nebula clearly. It's too tiny to show any detail...

 

Thanks to you too, Michael, Frank, Marios and Tom!

Great one, this is one of my challegues for this autumn, and you made me wanted to see it just now! So nice sketch and a great sight of such a dim and peculiar objects
