H I-281: “cB, E np-sf, nucleus in the
middle, 6' long, 1.5' broad.”
h: “vB, vL, vmE pos 118.3 ; 1st gradually
then smbM to a nucleus 4' long 1.5' broad has a star 9th mag N.f.”; “pB,
vmE, pslbM, 2.5' long.”; “vB, L, vmE, psmbM; has a 10th mag star N.f.”
William P. Clarke (San Diego, California, USA)
writes in the The Webb Society Nebulae and Clusters Section Report No. 10, July
1992: “Elliptical haze with a bright, elongated nucleus. PA about 120
degrees. (21-inch f/20, x140).”
Michael E. Sweetman (Tucson, Arizona, USA),
observing with a 12x40 binoculars, writes in the The Webb Society Nebulae and
Clusters Section Report No. 10, July 1992: “Not easily spotted at x48, just
north of a bright field star. The galaxy is elongated in an east-west direction
and the edges are fuzzy and faint. It has a star-like nucleus and a bright bar
runs through the nucleus and into the outer extensions. Envelope is faint.”
Listed by the Herschel Club, described as “slight
elongation visible in bright nucleus. Situated near bright field stars. 8-inch,
48x.”
Steve Coe, in “SACNEWS On-line for
November 1996” notes: NGC 613 looked pretty bright, pretty large, bright
middle and elongated 3 X 1. There is a pretty bright star on the NE side at
100X. The outer tips of the spiral arms curve in opposite directions as if to
show the direction of spiral motion.”
11x80: “A busy
starfield; one of the fainter members, a 9.5 mag star, with averted vision, has
a fuzzy extension to the south. Close by to the north-west is a similar
magnitude star with no such nebulous appendage.” (seeing 3, transparency 3,
sky darkness 4, lim.mag. at south pole 6.0 (naked eye), 10.7 (binoculars at
pole) Strong SE wind) [AS] |
