Visual Deep-Sky Observing Log Index

This is a list of objects that I have visually observed (on various telescopes) and logged over the years 2010--2020 (missing some logs from 2018). As of this update, there should be 498 objects.

I'm extremely grateful to various friends, mentors and observing partners that I've had through the years in this hobby, including Amar Sharma, John Tatarchuk, Jimi Lowrey, Steve Gottlieb, Howard Banich, and many others. While most of the observations here were made with my 18" f/4.5 Obsession, there are also many made with John Tatarchuk's 25" telescope, Steve Gottlieb's 24" telescope, or Jimi Lowrey's 48" telescope.

This is not a comprehensive list of objects that I've observed, since there are many which I have not logged. The logs I have for these are of varying levels of detail -- ranging from one-word descriptions, to rough sketches or pages of descriptions. Some SIMBAD links may not work (please let me know if you find them), and the "Type" descriptions are not scientifically accurate and may be wrong. If you wish to see my notes on any of these specific objects, please contact me on DSF / through EMail.
