NGC7662 (Planetary Nebula, in Andromeda)

Instrument: 6-inch other   Location: Bangalore, Karnataka, India
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: fair   Seeing: good
Time: Tue Nov 29 20:30:00 2005 UT   Obs. no.: 1439

I searched this planetary nebula for about 30 minutes as there was a bad haze. Finally I gave up and just casually moved my telescope through the field and there it was! I used the Orion Skyglow Filter to confirm that it was the planetary. I appears bluish white. Cool object.

Very bright, beautiful, quite large, slightly blue planetary. Largely in contrast to NGC 6210, it is nearly 5 times larger (I suppose). The field nearby is full of bright stars. The object forms a triangle with two fairly bright stars.The planetary is clearly distinguishable from a star even at 83x magnification. At 170x, it is a simply must see! It shows a nearly circular shape. Blue colour is very little, but much more than NGC 6210 and much less than NGC 3242 and NGC 7009. It stands up to its name: "The Blue Snowball". Very easy to find - I found it at first shot!!

Instrument: 12.5-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: Lee's Summit, MO, USA
Light pollution: severe   Transparency: good   Seeing: poor

Blue Snowball: Thanks to some advice I got in an email(thanks Fiske), I was able to locate theposition of the Snowball immediately in the binocs. I had trouble locating thisbefore because of its high position in the sky. At 59x, it clearly showed itselfas a small powdery blue disc without any detail. At 157x it appeared to have aslight darkening in the center. Maybe an illusion, I'm not sure. The darkeningin the center didnt hold. It came and went with averted vision. Maybe I was holding my breath....(a joke) I detected a slight brightening along the bottomsouth to south east border. I tried 314x, but the seeing was awful and I couldnot detect anything. The seeing is awful tonight. I'd like to check this oneout on a night of good seeing for sure. The moonshine was hitting inside my tube, which didnt help matters. I tried the OIII filter, but it didnt seem tomake a difference.

This planetary nebula is really bright.It is blue in color. Spotting it is a piece of cake.
