Of course, there are many other excellent and interesting objects
visible in dark skies. Initially, I fixated on the Messier list. Now,
I regularly view other deep sky objects. So I document here other
notable finds, intriguing deep orange or red stars, supernovae, and
quasars! This page is organised by catalogue and then sorted. Where
possible, "proper" names are shown.
Quick Index:
Objects viewed from the New General Catalogue
are now kept in a separate page.
Also note that this page has, at the end, some other catalogues,
for cross-referencing purposes primarily. This includes the Collinder,
Melotte, and OCL (Open CLuster) lists. That said, occasionally (but
only very occasionally) is a DSO only listed in one of these less-common
catalogues, and not anywhere else.
This helps those going for some of the SAA top 100!
Once again, an asterisk (*) denotes an object I wish to revisit.
Unusual colourful stars. Red or orange in colour. Typically, these are
variable stars. Best viewed at a level of magnification so to include
other fields stars, which, invariably, are different colours. Alphabetically
arranged with numbered objects at the end...
- Betelgeuse
- Betelgeuse is very slightly less brilliant than Rigel. They say,
it may pop one day... If that star in Orion explodes, we'll have
a front-row seat.
- Blaze Star, The
- T CrB, aka SAO 84129. Wanted to see what all the fuss was about.
ST3 said it was mag 6.4. I didn't agree. Unimpressive. Very faint.
Had expected it to be brighter. Did not seem very orange. Not colourful.
A long period cataclysmic variable, a recurrent nova. Viewed on

- GQ And
- The B star of the triple Groombridge 34. See the double
star page 1 for more info.
- Herschel's Garnet Star
- The bright star μ (mu) in Cepheus looks more orange to me.
Could be mistaken for Mars, if it weren't so far north. First recored
observation on 6
Jul '08. Phil, through the C14, in Jul
2010, remarked, "Oh, red!" Visible naked eye in dark
skies... First time noted naked eye 21
Jul '12. Deep orange. Caught in a wide field shot with DSLR

- Hind's Crimson Star
- R Leporis aka SAO 150085. Fantastic. Amazingly colourful star.
Deep, deep orange. Dark orange. Like an ember deep inside in a campfire!
It is better in a wide field with regular white and blue-white stars.
Beautiful, stunning. An M-class star. Estimated brightness on 15
Jan 2012 to be 8.0 to 8.5.
- Lalande 21185
- A variable star in Ursa Major. Not particularly red even though
a M2 star. Light orange? 8 light years away.
- La Superba
- Wow, amazing. Like an ember in a fire. Deep orange. All by itself,
not a lot of other stars around. aka Y CVn. Lighter at low power;
curiously deeper at high power.
- pi Aurigae
- A variable ranging from 4.2 to 4.3. Fantastic orange colour. M3
class. Not far from Menkalinan.
- Ross 248
- Stoopid faint. A variable at mag 12.3. So faint. I couldn't get
any colour off it. In a row of three stars, it's nearest neighbour
was Tycho 03244-1352 1. Boring! From a ST3 red stars list! Viewed
with C8 on 4

star list. The B-V is 4.0 and the V magnitude 8. Imaged with BGO
on 9
Jan '20. aka HIP 34326 and TYC 05381-0403 1.
- S Cephei
- Viewed in GSO 16 with 27mm ocular. Poor seeing made it hard to
focus. A star of "unusual colour." It sure is! A deep orange. Wow!
There were some faint field stars. Also viewed at low power in TV101
with 10mm. Unfortunately no bright field stars at 54x. Super colour!
Then with 18mm to draw in even more stars. Wow. It really was an
amazing colour. Very deep orange. Nice. Viewed on 5

- T Lyr
- Ooh. Nice. Intense deep orange! In a field of faint blue-white
stars. According to ST3, a C-class star. Viewed on 2
Sep '16.
- TU Gem
- Rhonda thought it a nice orange colour. She saw doubles all around
the edge of the field. I thought it a faint red star. Colourful.
And the field was unique. In a triangle pattern or a big flying-V.
It's a very tight double star... Viewed on evening of 18
Mar '18 with the C8.
- UU Aur
- Whoa. Pretty good, actually. Very orange. Like an ember. Rhonda
thought it nice too. Viewed on evening of 18
Mar '18 with the C8.
- UX Dra
- An N-class star! Whoa! What a colour. Fantastic, an intense orange.
Incredibly intense in the 14". Few field stars. Very pleasing
in the 101mm. There is a neat grouping of stars to the west, a loose
cluster, mostly blue-white. Wow. Viewed on 17

- V Aquilae
- Lovely! A beautiful orange star in a busy part of the Milky Way
of area, with lots of fine blue-white stars in the background. aka

- Red star. C class! Good colour but all by itself. Viewed on evening
of 19
Mar '18 with the C8.
- Z Cygni
- Very orange. Almost red. Near 26 Cyg, to the south. In-line with
the A and B stars, opposite, about 6 times the AB separation. See
variable list (below).
- 19 Piscium
- aka TX. Viewed with 27mm in C14 and 10mm in TV. Lovely orange
star. Colourful. Another C-class star. Fairly empty field. Not a
lot going on. A variable but not a wide range... Didn't realise
this was already observed... After a long eyepiece hop. Certainly
it was a warm orange. I would not call it red. Completely empty
field—at low power no less—so nothing to compare against. Viewed
with C8 on 4
Sep '19.
- 119 Tauri
- With a bit of luck I arrived at 119 Tauri during
urban observing. A pleasing orange star. A variable. ST3 says
it fluctuates over 165 days. From mag 4.23 to 4.54. I didn't compare
it to nearby stars.

miscellaneous clusters and asterisms
A listing of various objects, primarily clusters of stars that seem
to form interesting patterns.
- 37 Cluster
- See NGC 2169. Open cluster. Supposed
to look like the digits 3 and 7; I think everytime I've looked I've
been using an SCT, so it's been backwards! aka Cr 83 or OCL 481.

Many stars vary in their brightness. The reasons are numerous. Some
humans monitor star brightness on a frequent basis and report to the
AAVSO.
- NSV 1484
- A suspected variable in Cam. On 15 Jan 2012 in a mag ~12.5 sky,
the star was not visible. Imaged on 5
Oct and 7
Oct '17. Nothing at the location noted in SkyTools. The NSV
catalogue says it was only seen in one plate in 1900...
- VW Dra
- According to SkyTools 3, varies between 6.00 and 7.00. Viewed
on 20 Jun 2012. Slightly brighter than HD 156890 which is mag 6.9.
Slightly yellow or light orange.
- LT Dra
- Near the head of the dragon. Brighter than nearby mag 11 and 12
stars. Viewed on 22 Jun 2012. ST3 says it varies between mag 7.5
and 12.5.
- R Cyg
- From the TLAO summer list. Viewed on 22 Jun '12. Slightly fainter
than HR 7465 which is mag 6.5. Light orange colour. Also sports
a companion star (light blue?). Viewed again 29
Aug '16. Dimmer than mag 12 or 13.
- * Sheliak
- aka β (beta) Lyr. Compare the yellow against blue-white Sulafat
aka γ (gamma). If Sheliak is fainter than Sulafat, then it
is in eclipse. 12 to 13 day period. From the TLAO summer list. Viewed
on 1 Jul 2012 and β seemed slightly less than γ. Not
considerably dimmer...
- FU Ori
- Dim and orange. It purportedly varies between 2.6 and 9.5. I caught
it in early April 2013 around mag 9.5.
- R Sct
- On 30 Jun 2013, brighter than PPM 707310 (mag 9.8). Not as bright
as HD 173744 (mag 7.1). Estimated the magnitude around 8. ST3 said
it was 6.4—disagreed with that. Ranges from 4.2 to 8.6 over 147
days. Orangey colour.
- Z Cygni
- South of 26 Cygni. See the red stars list (above). Gauged brightness
30 Jun 2013. It was brighter than 26 Cyg B (mag 8.8) aka SAO 49100.
SkyTools says it varies from mag 7.1 to 14.7 over 264 days.
- ρ (rho) Cassiopeiae
- Low power, a pale orange citrus star. Fantastic colour at high
power: intense light yellow-orange. Varies between 4.1 and 6.2.
Noted V373 (5.9 and 6.3) nearby along with large round fuzzy—NGC
7789. rho brighter than HR 9059 (around 5.6) and σ (sigma)
Cas (4.9) and brighter than τ (tau) Cas (around 5). Therefore,
on 13
Sep 2015, around mag 4.5.
- U Cyg
- Not very colourful, pale orange. A double star system. The primary
is a variable ranging from 5.9 to 12.1. A was dimmer than B (7.9)
but brighter slightly than PPM 59697 (9.71) and TYC 03576-1785 1
(10.4). Viewed on the evening of 29
June 2016.
- RZ Cas
- Viewed in Tele Vue 101 with 18mm. Saw three stars, including
SAO 12413, pointing to it. Varies 6.2 and 7.7 over 28 hours. Unfortunately,
there were not a lot of nearby comparison stars. Brighter than the
AB stars of HD 18056, at magnitude 7.7. North of SU Cas. Mag 5.9.
RZ looked about the same brightness as SU. From TLAO. Viewed
on 28
Aug '16.
- SU Cas
- South of RZ. Mag 5.9. RZ looked about the same brightness as SU.
From TLAO. Viewed on 28
Aug '16.
- δ Cep
- Easy naked-eye object. Learned, with Wheelband's guidance, how
to gauge brightness by using two near stars forming a compact triangle.
Near maximum. Viewed on 26
Aug '17. An AAVSO article on the ESO web site says to use zeta
and epsilon, the stars making up a flat triangle with delta. They
are magnitudes 3.6 and 4.2 respectively. Reports follow. Brighter
than epsilon but less than zeta. Around 3.8 or 3.9 maybe? ST3 said
3.9. Viewed naked eye on 2
Sep '19. delta was around mag 4. Viewed with unaided eye from
Cupcakes on 11
Aug '20.
- TCP J05074264+2447555

on 16
Apr '16. on A "fast" variable from TLAO. In a big bird shape
of nearby stars. Saw a little triangle to the north. On evening
of 16
Mar '18 with the C8, it was the brightest star in wide field
offered by the baader. 49 Cancri at mag 5.6 was clearly brighter.
Compared to HD 74330 (7.2) to the south-east. It seemed quite bright.
Three nights later... Looked dimmer. Quite a lot dimmer than 36
and 37. Compared to HD 73488 (north-west)—a little bit brighter
than that star (8.2). Viewed briefly on 19
Mar '18.
- IK Peg
- aka HR 8210. Variable. Potential outburst star. Candidate for
explosion. Nothing special... yellow. Dim. Plait, back in 2012,
described it as a "weird" star. Not big enough to explode but it
has white dwarf companion that may blow up. 150 light years. Viewed
with C8 on 2

- R Leo
- Not far from Regulus. Very near 18 (mag 5.7) and 19 (6.4) Leonis.
In a curve of stars with 18 and 19. The eastern point of a small
triangle. Slightly brighter at the time... all pretty close, those
3 stars. Southern star: TYC 00831-1223 1, magnitude 9.9, direct
vision. The north star was the second brightest. The north star:
PPM 126787, 9.2. Spotted a star south-east of the triangle. PPM
126807, 10.0. It is near minimum. Viewed with ETX-90 on the evening
of 1
May '20. Spring 2021, it should be near its max...
- VX Sgr
- Bright orange star up and right of centre in photo. SkyTools suggests
it's very interesting. Did I catch it at top brightness or in outburst?
ST3 is not showing it very bright currently. Mag range V6.52 to
14.00 at a period of 732 days. Imaged with C8-40D early 16

Also known as Bok globules (after Bart Bok), these are dark clouds
of dense cosmic dust. When blasted by solar winds of nearby stars,
they produce tails and look somewhat like comets.

LEDA / PGC galaxies
Generally very faint galaxies only revealed in long-exposure photography.
The LEDA catalog refers to the Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Database
of galaxies, created in 1983 at the Lyon Observatory. The Catalogue
of Principal Galaxies (PGC), an astronomical formal list published
in 1989, appears to use the same numbers for some elements.
This list is not fully cross-referenced. That is, it contains only
life list objects viewed that are not in the Messier, NGC, or IC catalogues.

The "Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies" is a compilation of information
for approximately 34 000 galaxies found and examined on the Palomar
Observatory Sky Survey (POSS).
The catalog is structured according to the POSS zones and is numbered
from +15 (corresponding to +90 deg) to +01 (+06 deg zone) and +00
(equatorial zone) to -05 (-30 deg zone).
This list is not fully cross-referenced. That is, it contains only
life list objects viewed that are not in the Messier, NGC, or IC catalogues.

The Abell catalogue of rich clusters, co-authored by Corwin and Olowin.
There are over 4000 galaxy clusters. Many have nominal redshift values.
They are of interest to amateur astronomers as challenge objects.
Alternative formats include: ABCG 1656; AC 1656; ACO 1656; A 1656,
and A1656. ACO 1656 has become the preferred format. It is also recommended
by the Centre de Données astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS).
