Do anyone know anything about..

The following planetary is plottet in my atlas, and listed in Burnham's, but not in Kepple and Sanner.

NGC5882 in Lupus, magnitude 10.5, size 7". Have anyone observed it?

The following three objects in Norma seem very interesting to me:

Planetary listed as Sp 1 in Burnham's. Magnitude 8.5, size 72"-

Two rich open clusters: NGC5999 and NGC6067.

I'm very interested in any information about these objects.

Best regards

I usually start with the NGC/IC reference above which takes me in untold directions.

I observed NGC 6067 (as well as all the other objects on the Astronomical League's Southern Sky Telescopic List) from Huatajata, Bolivia in July, 2004, but I don't have my notes at hand.

I can't recall if I viewed the other three objects during my trips there in 2001 and 2004.

Hi Inge,

I have observed most of these objects. NGC 5882 is a large, scattered cluster in a very rich region of the Milky Way. I have a photo here:- http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/faculty/~mclark/public_html/5822.htm

NGC 6067 is a very bright (naked eye) and rich cluster, that is one of my favourites for telescopic observation as it is small enough to bear moderate magnification. Again the surrounding region is very rich. A photo is here:-

Sp1 is Shapley 1, and it is an excellent ring-type planetary. The ring is visible with an 8" telescope under dark skies. A CCD image of this object is below. It you want some more southern planetaries, have a look at my planetary images at:

Hope this helps,
