UGC 9760  15 12 02.6  +01 41 56  14.7p  2.4x0.2’

22” (255, 328 and 383x) – Very faint, thin, even surface brightness glow with somewhat defined edges and diffuse ends.  A 13.8 mag star is on the NE tip.  PA = 60 and 0.8’ long.  A blazing mag 11.1 and 12.9  double star lies just 2.2’ NW hindering the view a bit.

22” (255 and 383x) – Bright, very small round disk with well-defined edges at 383x.  O-III filter really brings it out well. 0.1’ across.  A mag 12.3 star lies 1.8’ west and a faint mag 16.5 and 16.9 double star lies just 0.6’ SW.

This object was discussed by Sue French in the June 2010 issue of Sky and Telescope.  Thanks Sue!

22” (184, 255, 328 and 383x) – Very faint uniform brightness round glow with diffuse edges.  A 12.2 magnitude star is on the NE edge.  About 0.5’ across.  Good response to Ultrablock, mild response to O-III.  Best seen at 255x.

22” (144, 184 and 255x) – field was located, but no nebula.  Both O-III and Ultrablock were used. 

I will try this object again as Eric Honeycutt successfully observed it.  But Kent Wallace didn't see it.

22” (184, 255 and  328x) – Considerably bright round glow with diffuse edges. A 11.5 magnitude star is just off the west edge.  Mild response with Ultrablock and good response with O-III filter.  About 0.6’ across.

22” (383x) – Extremely faint, only visible with the Astronomik CLS filter.  Only pops in and out.  Stellar.  Both the Ultrablock and O-III makes it invisible.  This object was discovered by my good friend, Jimi Lowrey.  He was perusing the Sloan Digital Sky Survey lookign for ring galaxies, then ran across this green "star".  Generally there are no green stars on the Sloan, we decided to look at it with the 48".   It was definately fainter than the nearby stars.  The Astronomik CLS filter helps this object the most.

Here is a short blurb on it.  In a nutshell, this object has some lines consistant to a planetary nebula, but it's location is really bizzare...it is in Draco far above the plane of the Milky Way and is estimated to be about 25,000 light years away...which puts this object well outside of the plan of our galaxy.  It was theorized that this object was flung off our galaxy or from the "galaxy" that passed by the Milky Way many years ago.
