Herman Schultz, 



The m generally well defined, yet diffuse nebs rays at the ends and in direction of 

 the longer axis. 



Diara in decl-circle by measure = 18", 1 (5) 

 Diam in par (passages) = 16",8 (10) 



Rem. At the passages this night pos-circle evidently 10° in error; the obs 

 Ja consequently corrected to this hypothesis. 



1869 Febr. 26. Sky tolerably good, strong moonlight; magn p 160, 210, 320, 

 480, 640. 



Neb this night long and scrupulously studied. D*A S C * at length seen with 

 640 times magn p, and then even well seen with a magn p of only 320. 



The * however only seen by glimpses, and thus much more diffic, than was to 

 be supposed according to D'A- 1 description ; * is 2", has a dull planetary look, and 

 through its white colour momentarily strongly contrasts with the blueish nebs ground. 



Greatest condens of neb in all cases nearer the m, where many glimmering 

 stell points — particularly n. I can thus the less get rid of the conviction, that neb 

 really is annular, as in the moments, when D'A S * is well seen, the nr surrounding 

 part of the neby always appears considerably Fr than usually, although in the more 

 condens part ur the m no var of B could be perceived. Neb this night much reminds 

 me of h2050. 



Diam in par (passages) = 15 ,3 (5). 

 1869 March 28. Sky not v favourable, strong moonlight; sev eye-pieces tried, 

 not more than 320 times magn p to be employed. 



Neb seen as before. D'A S central * sometimes remarkably distinct ; annular 

 form hardly to be doubted — bet the central * and the n Br m a dark spot is for 

 instance quite certain. 



Rem. Neb was never seen in v favourable circumstances, and moon always 

 troublesome. Neb has sev *... nr ; * Sf.206 (9 m ,2) np ; *a ll m nf; *b 12™ np. 



11.902 not eF; contains sev *... , but does not look as if r. The region rich in 

 *... : * 12" sp, 2 *... sf. Resulting AR of the neb deviates remarkably from 

 H* position. 



h2000 strongly blueish; has a B but not v well def N, E in decl — perhaps biN? 

 Agreement bet different obs perfect. Neb compared with 4 neighbooring *... : 

 *a 9 m nf, *b 10 m ll sf, *c 13 m nf, *d 12" 1 np. 



11.907 certainly not Br than CI. Ill, although not eF; r suspected, looks like a ® ; 

 B nr troublesome. Resulting AR remarkably deviates from H* position. 



U2023. 



1865 Aug. 12. Sky tolerable; magn p 320. 



Neb blueish and strongly granulate; n part Br. Pos of the axes of the outer 

 limiting ellipsis by measure : 



min. axe (np to sf) pos = 148°,9 (3), 



maj. axe (sp to nf) pos = 57°,9 (3). 

 Diam of this ellipse measured in decl-circle = 58", 1 (5).
