Dunlop's November DSO seen

I'll be happy to check your list Paul!
I compared 4 Dunlop galaxies this morning with a 12" scope and 8mm EP (190x, 25' field).
From brightest to faintest they were: N613, N986, N625 and IC1633.
The first three are elongated and the first two have bright cores.
IC1633 is vF and vS. Is it visible in a 6"? Images are at http://picasaweb.google.com/dunlop1826/Dunlop28#
The GC N362 is vB and vL. It is resolvable even at the core.
I also saw a fantastically bright meteor moving vertically down near beta Ceti and I looked at Comet Hartley.
The comet is easy to see in a 50mm finder and is about 15' in diameter in the 12" scope using an 8mm EP.
