The Orion Nebula (also known as Messier 42, M42, or NGC 1976) is a diffuse nebula situated in the Milky Way, being south of Orion's Belt in the constellation of Orion.It is one of the brightest nebulae, and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. M42 is located at a distance of 1,344 ± 20 light years and is the closest region of massive star formation to Earth. The M42 nebula is estimated to be 24 light years across. It has a mass of about 2,000 times that of the Sun. Older texts frequently refer to the Orion Nebula as the Great Nebula in Orion or the Great Orion Nebula.(Wikipedia) Reflection/Emission Right ascension 05h 35m 17.3s Declination −05° 23′ 28″ Distance1,344±20 ly (412 pc) Apparent magnitude (V)+4.0 Apparent dimensions (V)65×60 arcmins DAY: Saturday DATE: 23/2/19 TIME: 21:00 SCOPE: Dob 10px Sky-Watcher F.L.1200/f4.7 EYEPIECE: 24mm Explore Scientific F.O.V. 68° LOCATION:Mammari -

Messier 35 (also known as M35, or NGC 2168) is an open cluster in the constellation Gemini. It was discovered by Philippe Loys de Chéseaux in 1745 and independently discovered by John Bevis before 1750. The cluster is scattered over an area of the sky almost the size of the full moon and is located 850 parsecs (2,800 light-years) from Earth. The mass of M35 has been computed using a statistical technique based on proper motion velocities of its stars.[3] The mass within the central 3.75 parsecs was found to be between 1600 and 3200 solar masses (95 percent confidence), consistent with the mass of a realistic stellar population within the same radius. The compact open cluster NGC 2158 lies directly southwest of M35.(Wikipedia) Constellation Gemini Right ascension 06h 09.1m Declination +24° 21′ Distance 2800 ly (850 pc) Apparent magnitude (V)5.30 Apparent dimensions (V)28 arcmins DAY:Saturday DATE:9/1/16 TIME:10:50 SCOPE:Dob 10px Sky-Watcher F.L.1200/f4.7 EYEPIECE:T/S plossl 30mm 2 inches F.O.V :68° LOCATION:Mammari -

46P/Wirtanen was discovered photographically on January 17, 1948, by the American astronomer Carl A. Wirtanen. The plate was exposed on January 15 during a stellar proper motion survey for the Lick Observatory. Due to a limited number of initial observations, it took more than a year to recognize this object as a short-period comet.(Wikipedia) SCOPE: Dob 10px Sky-Watcher 2200/4.7 EYEPIECE: Edmund Optics 32mm ELF LOCATION: Mammari -
