Taurus

NGC 1514 : Planetary Nebula

A very vague hint of nebulosity around a 9.5mag star. With the OIII filter it stands aout really well - a large, 1'+ dia., dim circular glow, slightly brighter towards the middle.

1807+1817 : Open Cluster

Both clusters are visible in a low-power view, somewhat resmbling a poor realtion of the Double Cluster in Perseus. 1817 is the richer of the two with a few bright stars embedded in a speckled blue glow.

M 1 : Supernova Remnant

Easy to find as soft diffuse glow. The shape is obviously not round, more sort of a twsited oval. No detail is visible.
