NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 6803 17.5" (9/5/99): picked up by blinking with an OIII filter at 100x as a mag 11.5 "star". At 220x, appears just non-stellar and is situated ~2' S of a mag 10.5-11 "comparison" star, which is a half magnitude brighter than the PN (unfiltered). Good response to blinking with a UHC filter. At 280x and 380x, the PN is very small but clearly nonstellar, <5" diameter with a blue-grayish color. Easily takes 500x but no other details were visible except for two mag 15 stars which are close west and northwest forming a tiny equilateral triangle with the PN. 13": fairly bright stellar planetary at 88x, good OIII blinker in a rich star field, estimate V = 11.5. Just non-stellar at 350x and about 3" diameter. A mag 11 star is 1.8' N. 8" (8/5/83): appears slightly non-stellar at 385x. A similar field star is just 2' NW.
