M 1-46, RA 18,27.9 DEC -15,33 MAG 14.6 CSM 12.8 SIZE 12"x10" on 09/09/99. At 134X and 169X, relatively bright star exactly where the SEC finderchart shows this PN to be. There appears to be a slight response to the O-III, UHC & H-B filters when using averted vision. Also the filters tend to give this PN a small disk. The MAG 12.8 central star probably tends to hide this nebula. At 254X, there is a small disk when using averted vision. All filters tend to show this small disk better when using averted vision.
SaSt 3-166, RA 18,29.2 DEC -17,27 MAG ? CSM ? SIZE 13" on 08/16/98. Tried to find this PN but had no luck. The SEC finderchart for the field did not identify the PN.
Sa 3-134, RA 18,29.3 DEC -15,08 MAG 16.5 CSM ? SIZE stellar, on 8/18/96. At 254X, very faint, stellar, requiring the O-III filter and averted vision. Couldn't have found the PN without the SEC finderchart. Good response to the O-III & UHC filters. No response to the H-B filter. This is a first known visual sighting.
M 1-48, RA 18,29.5 DEC -19,06 MAG 15.8 CSM ? SIZE 5" on 09/03/97. At 134X & 169X 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 254X, can see the PN with averted vision alone but required the UHC filter to identify it as a PN. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart. At 254X the arc of three stars mentioned by steve is visible.
Pe 2-14, RA 18,30.0 DEC -19,41 MAG 16.0 CSM ? SIZE 6"x5" on 10/04/97. At 169X, 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 254X, can see the PN with averted vision alone as a very faint fuzzy star requiring the UHC filter to identify it as a PN. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart.
Abell 44, RA 18,30.2 DEC -16,45 MAG 15.8 CSM ? SIZE 63"x39" on 07/07/97. At 134X, faint, relatively good sized, unsteady disk, 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. The PN is involved with a relatively bright star. At 169X, the image is better but it still requires the O-III filter and averted vision. The bulk of the PN is east of the relatively bright star. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart.
Abell 45, RA 18,30.3 DEC -11,37 MAG 12.8 CSM 21.1 SIZE 302"x281" on 08/14/98. Tried to find this PN but had no luck. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart.

K 3-4, RA 18,31.0 DEC +02,26 MAG 15.8 CSM ? SIZE 13"x11" on 10/04/97. At 134X & 169X, small disk requiring the O-III filter and averted vision. Good response to the O-III & UHC filters. No response to the H-B filter. At 254X, could see the PN as a faint fuzzy patch with averted vision alone but needed the O-III filter to identify it as a PN. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart.
Abell 46, RA 18,31.3 DEC +26,56 MAG 13.8 CSM 15.0 SIZE 63"x60" on 10/04/97. At 134x, 169X & 254X, relatively good sized disk requiring the O-III filter and averted vision. Good response to the O-III & UHC filters. No response to the H-B filter. The image was best at 134X.Identified the field in the SEC finderchart. There appears to be a central star visible which was shown in the SEC finderchart.
K 3-5, RA 18,31.8 DEC +04,05 MAG 17.1 CSM ? SIZE 9" on 08/18/98. At 169X & 254X, faint non-stellar blob 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 254X, I thought I could catch a glimpse of the PN with averted vision alone. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart.

M 3-28, RA 18,32.7 DEC -10,06 MAG 17.2 CSM ? SIZE 10"x6" on 10/04/97. Tried to find this PN but had no luck. Dusty region so could not identify the field in the SEC finderchart.

M 1-51, RA 18,33.5 DEC -11,07 MAG 16.7 CSM ? SIZE 4"x3" on 08/06/96. At 169X, pretty faint, stellar, requiring the UHC filter and averted vision. Fair response to the UHC filter. Poor response to the O-III filter. No response to the H-B filter. The image is better at 254X but is still faint, requiring the UHC filter and averted vision. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart. This is a first known visual sighting.
We 3-1, RA 18,34.0 DEC +14,49 MAG ? CSM ? SIZE 135" on 09/16/96. At 79X, large faint disk, 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. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart. Higher powers gave a worse image. This is a first known visual sighting.
M 1-52, RA 18,34.0 DEC -14,52 MAG 15.6 CSM ? SIZE 7"x6" on 10/21/97. At 134X and 169X, 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 254X, could sees the PN as a very small, faint, fuzzy patch with averted vision alone but it required the UHC filter to identify it as a PN. Identified the field in the SEC finderchart.
