Abell34, RA 09,45.6 DEC -13,10 MAG 12.9 CSM 16.3 SIZE 281"x268" on 04/07/96. At 79X, very large, faint diffuse blob, requiring the O-III filter and averted vision. No response to the UHC and H-B filters. I identified the central region in the SEC finderchart. I was fooled when trying to find it because it is just north of two widely spaced stars and there are two sets of widely spaced stars in the general area.

Proper noum : Ghost of Jupiter (French name : Le fantome de Jupiter) To the T140 G20x, the PN is recognizable by its turquoise color. TO 100x+OIII, one notes the presence of 3 gaseous envelopes, a weaker external, an intern large enough and a third as a strong central condensation. The PN shines a well marked turquoise and it is oval form. Perception of the central to this opening. Easy object to find. ( 22/03/98 T=1 S=2 )

high surface brightness halo ~1' in size. At 220x, the central star appears
13th magnitude and  the halo is gradually brightens towards the center.  With
averted vision, the halo increases to roughly 90"x60", extended SW-NE, with

17.5": at 220x unfiltered, appears as a very small, high surface brightness
disc, ~10" diameter with a mag 13.5-14 star close off the W edge.  At 380x,
the disc is concentrated to a quasi-stellar nucleus, but difficult to
distinguish the central star due to the high surface brightness glow.
Surrounding the central region is a much fainter outer round shell which
increases the diameter to 15"-20".  Seeing not steady enough for higher power.

17.5": this huge ancient PN was immediately seen at 100x using an OIII filter
surrounding the mag 9.6 central star (a white-dwarf companion is the ionizing
star).  It appeared roughly 6'x4' extended SW-NE with the mag 9.6 offset NE
of center.  The brightest part of the nebulosity is near this star and in the
vicinity SW.  The nebulosity does not reach a mag 10.5 star situated 5.5' SW
of the central star but does extend to a mag 11.5 star 2.7' following the
central star.  The PN has a very low but irregular surface brightness. The
edge of the halo fades into the background so it is difficult to trace.  Deep
photographs reveal an ionized arc of material surrounding the central star
(not seen).

13: a bright mag 8.7 central star = SAO 82570 (or close companion to the

no nebulosity visible at 79x using an OIII filter.  This star forms the
second of three mag 9 stars each 10' separation in a low power field.

LoTr5 report from Wolfgang "Howdii" Howurek:
On May 3rd, 2003, an exceptionally clear night at Ebenwaldhöhe, Lower Austria, I was able to observe LoTr 5 with my 18" f/4.5 Dob.
We were busy observing "Rosse spiral galaxies" according to Ken Hewitt-White's article in this year's May issue of S&T, when I noticed LoTr 5 is not very far from NGC4725, one of our "Rosse spirals". So I wanted to give LoTr 5 a try. I used an exit pupil of 6mm, the eyepiece was equipped with an OIII filter. Of course, the ~8 mag "central" star is not helpful when searching for a faint nebula. At first I could see nothing. After some minutes I started a new try. Suddenly, when I moved my scope to re-center the image I could glimpse a very faint, huge glow around this star, something, the other ~8mag stars nearby didn't show. Since I now had an idea what to look for, it was still difficult, but not extremely hard to see this nebula. My observing partner Walter Koprolin was then able to confirm my sighting. So, at all, I think 18" is not the lower limiting aperture for viewing this nebula, but it might be close to it.

Here are two more positive sighting reports sent in by Jens Bohle:
I know two observations here in germany:
Frank Richardsen using a 20incher @ 80x + O[III] and my own observation in
may last year at our starparty "Internationales Teleskoptreffen Vogelsberg"
. I made my observation under +6,7skies using my 20incher at
6 and 9mm exit pupil + O[III] filter. LT 5 is a very faint round glow only
visible for me while slightly moving the scope. The "central star" (in fact
he isn´t it) is very bright and makes the observation very difficult.
Past weekend I gave a lecture at "Deep Sky Tagung" of the Vereinigung der
Sternfreunde about difficult objects for visual observers including the
giant PuWe 1 and LT 5. Even some of the advanced astrophotographer had no success with these object(s)!

On 02/15/99.  At 100X, stellar, requiring the O-III filter and averted vision.  Good response to the O-III & UHC filters.  No response to the H-B filter. At 200X could see the PN with averted vision alone as a faint star, requiring the UHC filter to identify it as a PN.  The PN is close to another faint star.  This is a first known visual sighting.

On 02/10/99.  At 62.5X the PN forms a pair with a relative bright star.  Can see a star where the disk of the PN appears when using the O-III filter and averted vision.  Perhaps it is the central star which is MAG 14.8.  Good response to the O-III and UHC filters. No response to the H-B filter.  At 100X and 200X the PN appears as that at 62.5X  Identified the field in the SEC finder chart.

On 02/10/99.  At 62.5X the PN appears to be one of a faint pair of stars, requiring the O-III filter and averted vision.  Fair response to the O-III and UHC filters.  No response to the H-B filter.  At 100X the PN is the brighter of the pair of faint stars.  At 200X the PN appears non-stellar when viewed through the UHC filter.  Identified the field in the SEC finder chart.

On 02/15/99.  Maurice Clark got a first know visual sighting on this PN with his 17.5" telescope.  After seeing the field in his scope I was able to find it in my C-8.  At 100X, extremely faint, stellar, unsteady, requiring the O-III filter and averted vision.  Fair response to the O-III filter.  Poor response to the UHC filter.  No response to the H-B filter. At 200X the image is very poor, 100X is the power to use.  This is the faintest PN seen in the C-8 to date.

This PN was discovered by karl Henize in 1964.
Field Description: At 62.5X, stellar, requiring the O-III filter and averted vision.  Good response to the O-III filter.  Fair response to the UHC filter.  No response to the H-B filter.  At 100X, can see the PN using averted vision alone, requiring the O-III to identify it as a PN.  At 200X, can see the PN directly but it still requires the O-III filter to identify it as a PN.  No disk is visible.
