Nebulae
This is the last of five posts on easy deep sky objects. All of these objects are south of declination +40 so they are visible from all of Australia including Tasmania.
These nebulae can be seen with an 8 inch telescope and an UHC filter. I think the best nebulae are:
NGC 346, NGC 1763, M 1, M 42, NGC 2070, M 78, NGC 2237, NGC 2467,
NGC 3372, IC 2948, IC 4628, M 20, M 8, M 16, M 17, NGC 6726, NGC 6992
The list above is in RA order. 346 is in the SMC. 1763 and 2070 are in the LMC.
UHC filters are great for emission nebulae, as good as having a much bigger telescope.
