Was NGC 7026 blue?
Thanks for the great report, Debbie. I concentrated on photography the
other night in the San Rafael, and got an OK view of the easiest planetary of all, M27. I'll be writing a blog about it. Best wishes, Joe

Hi all,
I saw some interesting planetaries in Scorpius and Lupus Tuesday night. NGC 6026 was a mag 12.9 and size 54" at Dec -34 degrees. NGC 6072 showed up better at a mag 11.7 and about size 68" at Dec -36 degrees. This really looked good in the 12mm Nagler. It was a little dimmer than NGC 6302 (Bug Nebula). The Bug Nebula is about size 85"x44" and mag 9.7. The last planetary nebula in Scorpius was NGC 6337 with a mag 12.0 and size 51". This one is more circular shaped.
Also got good views in Jim's 25" of planetaries in Cygnus. With the blinking planetary (NGC 6826), there is no blink effect in a 25 inch scope. NGC 7008 and NGC 7026 (Cheeseburger Nebula) looked awesome. We had good seeing at 8000 feet outside of Zion National Park.
Viewed many globulars in the Milky Way, Hercules, and Ophucuius. Also many galaxies in the Canes Venaciti and Coma Berenices area of the sky. Also a few galaxies in Draco looked great. I think I viewed over a hundred objects Tuesday night so I decided to sleep Wednesday night. Hopefully next month it will get dark earlier in August.

Well it is described as blue.
No, it looked like two hamburger buns through the 25".
