Ngc 2867

Hi PGC & All,

For what it's worth, here is my observation of NGC 2867 back in 1996 with 25cm at x138 and x181 with a Lumicon UHC. Suburban location, seeing = 6/10:

Mag 9.8 Size 18". Small but intensely bright planetary. Quite blue/green without the UHC filter. Appears about 10-15" diameter, round, as a solid looking, hard-edged disc that is evenly illuminated. Rich field with many scattered *s mag 10 - threshold. No central * visible. Suspect a thin outer halo of very LSB outside the hard edge surrounding the disc.


Best,

Les D
