Iridium 62 was visible briefly in the North and I used our local MatterCam to make the observation for the 1st time over Anaheim.

I finally got a chance to observe the bright supernova SN 2004dj on Tuesday morning through my friend Tony Donnangelo's 14.5" Starmaster Sky Tracker Dob. The humidity was high and transparency rather poor and to make matters worse the only serious light dome present at our site in the Tuscarora State Forest was in the northeast but the supernova itself was quite easy to see using 22, 17, and 12mm Type 4 Naglers. NGC 2403, the parent galaxy, was completely lost in the haze, however. Two bright field stars were also prominent.

Tombaugh 5 is a somewhat detached, moderately rich open cluster containing stars which vary moderately in brightness. It is approximately 17' in size and is composed of about 60 stars. I came across Tombaugh 5 serendipitously while observing Comet Lee, which was just to the north of the cluster at the time.
NGC2403 (Galaxy, in Camelopardalis, Est. RaDec 07h36.9m, +65d36')

Among the many deep-sky objects that I observed on this cold and unsteady night was the 8.9 magnitude spiral galaxy NGC 2403. This slightly elongated, face-on H400 galaxy is situated between two fairly bright field stars and spans some 16.8'x10.0'. NGC 2403 appeared as a large, diffuse, and somewhat oval glow. I used magnifications of 118, 202, and 259x.

Using my Celestron Pros I beheld the attractive, 2.5 degree long chain of mostly eight magnitude stars known as Kemble's Cascade. See the November 1997 S & T Binocular Highlight column and page 547 of the December 1980 S & T for further information.

I viewed the small open cluster Stock 23, which is located between the Double Cluster and Kemble's Cascade, with my Celestron Pros. See the November 1997 Sky & Telescope Binocular Highlight column for additional information.

Plotted in Sky Atlas as "St23" (which dObjects tells me is an open cluster catalog by J. Stock), this was very pretty; like a "mini-Pleiades," with 5 relatively bright stars in a tight little group. Swept up in 7x50 "bug hunt."
