A dull cluster, the brightest star was yellow plus I saw a fainter red star to the SW.
M52 - 8.75 inch reflector
Difficult one to observe as the stars were like pepper on black velvet. There is a prominent magnitude 8 star which stands out well at the western side of the cluster which was about 10' across.
NGC 185 - 12 inch reflector
Visible as a moderately large circular nebulosity and considering that its surface brightness is magnitude 14.7 it appeared quite bright on this occasion! It has indefinite edged but grew in brightness to a defined core. A very faint star was observed just inside NGC 185's halo to the NW, just what a faint supernova outburst would look like/1
M103 - 8.75 inch reflector
Visible in the finder as a small knot of light in the main scope was a small triangular group of stars with a magnitude 7.5 sta at its NW side, a magnitude 8 star at the SE and a magnitude 10.5 star at the SW forming the triangle with the rest of the cluster members predominantly within the triangle.There is a very red magnitude 8.5 star SE of centre, all other stars looked white.
NGC 659 - 8.75 inch reflector
A cluster of moderately faint stars, I made a star count of 11.
NGC 7635 - the bubble nebula - 10 inch reflector + Watec
A joy to observe, the Watec revealed some nice intricate details. The brightest part was the bubble itself though only part could be seen looking like a bright arc of light just NNE of a magnitude 8.7 star. This arc fanned out somewhat, it was diffuse but had a much brighter defined part, it looked filamentary in nature. There was also a very bright area just under the magnitude 8.7 star, it was very knotty looking and seemed to connect to the arc of light. More fainter nebulosity was seen all around the bubble but the brightest parts were to the NNE where some definite condensations could be seen. There appears to be a dark bridge between the bubble and the outer nebulosity to the NNE.
NGC 663 - 8.75 inch reflector
A fairly rich cluster of stars situated into two groups. The stars were white in colour but I did notice some looked to be pale yellow.
NGC 457 - the owl cluster- 8.75 inch reflector
At low powers it does indeed look like its namesake! The brightest star in the cluster is Phi Cass and it overpowered all other stars in the cluster of which I counted 75 stars.
NGC 281 - the pacman nebula - 12 inch reflector
An easy target viewed with an OIII filter although a UHC filter showed more detail. It was centered around a magnitude 9 star, the brightest part of the nebula was on the NE of this star which showed some subtle degrees in brightness which continued around to the north and to the west. The western area was not as bright or as large as the NE area. The nebulosity continued to the south, continuing on from the NE part of the nebula and hooked around to the west leaving a large dark void to the SW.
NGC 225 - 8.75 inch reflector
A very loose and slightly scattered cluster with about 26 stars.
