Contains a slightly brighter, bulging core. The outer tips fades into the background, so it was difficult to estimate extent. A faint star is just off the following side of the core and a pair of mag 14 stars are off the SE extension. Located in a rich star field 8.5' WSW of mag 8 HD 5982. 17.5" (11/26/94): fairly faint, moderately large, very elongated 7:2 NNW-SSE, 3.5'x1.0', weak concentration to a brighter middle but no nucleus.

Initially just a 40" core was noticed but with extended viewing larger extensions increased the total size to ~1.2'x0.6'. Possible member of Abell 151 or in a foreground group with IC 79 6.4' S and IC 82 10' SE. ************************************************************ IC 0079 = MCG -03-04-011 01 08 49.7 -15 56 55 V = 14.2; Size 0.7x0.7; SB = 13.3 18" (11/22/03): faint, small, slightly elongated, 25"x20", a mag 14 star is just off the NNE edge, 30" from center. Located between IC 78 6.4' N and IC 82 5' SE in Abell 151 (or a foreground cluster). ************************************************************ IC 0080 = MCG -03-04-008 01 08 51.1 -15 24 23 V = 13.7; Size 0.8x0.5; PA = 45d 18" (11/22/03): faint, fairly small, elonagted 3:2 SW-NE, 40"x25", low even surface brightness. This is a double system and the observation probably refers to both components (unresolved). Forms a close pair with IC 77 2' SW in Abell 151 = Haufen A. ************************************************************ IC 0082 = MCG -03-04-013 01 09 05.8 -16 00 01 V = 13.8; Size 0.8x0.7; SB = 13.1; PA = 111d 18" (11/22/03): very faint, small, round, 0.4' diameter, low surface brightness. Third in the 257x field close south of the core of Abell 151 with IC 79 5' NW and IC 78 10' NW. With a redshift of z = .04 this may be foreground group (Abell 151 is listed at z = .054). Located 6' NW of a mag 10.4 star. ************************************************************ IC 0131 = A29 01 33 14.6 +30 44 56 17.5": very faint, very small, round, 10" diameter. This HII region is located 10' WNW of the center of M33 near a wide pair [50"] of mag 11/12 stars. A mag 14 star is nearby and at first I thought this star was IC 131 (on the DSS this 14th magnitude "star" is a compact HII region and was also described as a star by Bigourdan). Collinear with IC 133 8' N and IC 132 11.5' N. ************************************************************ IC 0132 01 33 15.8 +30 56 45 17.5": faint but easily visible HII knot of 20" diameter. Located 1' N of a pair of mag 13 stars at 10" separation and 1.6' W of a mag 9 star. Forms the northern member of a pair of HII regions with IC 133 3.4' S. ************************************************************ IC 0133 = A137 01 33 15.8 +30 53 05 V = 14.3 17.5": faint, diffuse, hazy HII region of 35" diameter at the NW end of M33 15' NW of the center. Forms a "pair" with IC 132 3.4' N. This object is larger than IC 132 at times with averted vision but has a lower surface brightness. ************************************************************ IC 0135 = A100 01 34 15.8 +30 37 11 17.5": fairly faint, fairly small, 1' diameter. This HII region is located 6' ESE of the center of M33 and is symmetrically placed on the opposite side of M33 from N595. IC 136 lies 3.5' S. ************************************************************ IC 0136 = A101 01 34 15.7 +30 33 43 Size 0.6 17.5": very faint, ill-defined hazy region in M33 between IC 135 3.5' N and a mag 11.5 star 2.5' SSE (just west of the line connecting these objects). Appears as a slightly locally brighter region of 30" diameter and not as noticeable as the other IC HII regions - would have passed over if casually sweeping galaxy. This star association may have a smaller HII component. ************************************************************ IC 0137 = A12 01 33 39.1 +30 31 20 17.5": very faint HII knot or star association in M33 located along the main southern spiral arm 10' SSW of center of M33. ************************************************************ IC 0139 = A4 01 33 59.2 +30 34 03 17.5": fairly prominent elongated HII region and star association just following a mag 13 star 5.4' SSE of the center of M33. Extended ~N-S, perhaps 2.0'x0.5' and consists of two brighter knots at both ends (the size appears too large). ************************************************************ IC 0140 = A5 01 33 58.1 +30 33 02 17.5": located SSW of IC 139 in M33 and visible as an easy knot, ~1' in diameter with ill-defined edges. There is a second knot close west which is slightly fainter. ************************************************************ IC 0142 = A67 01 33 55.6 +30 45 26 Size 0.5 17.5": fairly faint, very small, round. Stands out nicely 6' N of the center of M33. Either contains a stellar spot near the center or a faint star is superimposed. First of three in the spiral arm containing IC 142, IC 143 and ending with NGC 604. ************************************************************ IC 0143 = A75 01 34 11.2 +30 46 38 17.5": Association 71 is a very faint HII region in M33 located 8' NNE of the center and 5' W of N604. Appears very faint, small, round, 20" diameter. There is a mag 13.5 star 2' SE and close WNW of this star is also a faint, hazy patch of nebulosity which is IC 143. It's odd that that IC 143 = A75 appeared fainter to me than A71. Second of three HII regions along with IC 142 3.5' SW and N604 5' E in the spiral arm attached at the west side of M33 and winding towards the NE ************************************************************ IC 0154 = UGC 01229 = MCG +02-05-023 01 45 16.4 +10 38 57 V = 14.0; Size 1.4x0.2; SB = 12.6; PA = 66d 17.5": very faint, fairly small, appears as a very thin sliver WSW-ENE. A mag 13.5 star is at the preceding end 40" WSW of center. Member of the N665 group and forms a pair with IC 156 6' SSE. N665 lies 14' SSW. ************************************************************ IC 0156 = UGC 01231 = MCG +02-05-025 01 45 29.3 +10 33 09 V = 13.5; Size 1.5x1.2; SB = 13.9 17.5": fairly faint, small, slightly elongated NW-SE. A mag 14 star is 0.9' N. Located 2.5' W of mag 8.7 SAO 92617. Member of the N665 group with IC 154 6' NNW and N665 11' SW. ************************************************************ IC 0166 = OCL-334 = Lund 60 01 52 22 +61 51.3 V = 11.7; Size 5 17.5": position identified at 100x using a GSC chart, although only a couple of stars are plotted. Appears as a very faint circular glow with a couple of faint stars superimposed. Located 7' E of a wide pair of mag 9/11 stars [at 38" separation]. Does not resemble a cluster in appearance and would have otherwise thought this was a milky way patch. At 220x, the glow is ~4' in diameter and there are a sprinkling of ~10 very faint stars, mostly mag 14.5-15.5 with one mag 13 star. The glow has an irregular surface brightness with a mottled appearance and the periphery is not well defined. ************************************************************ IC 0167 = UGC 01313 = MCG +04-05-021 = CGCG 482-025 = Arp 31 = Ho 123 = LGG 034-008 01 51 08.6 +21 54 46 V = 13.1; Size 2.9x1.8; SB = 14.8; PA = 95d 18" (11/22/03): very faint, elongated 4:3, 0.8'x0.6', low surface brightness.

Located 2.7' NNW of a mag 10-11 star. This galaxy was picked up while searching for HCG 14 which is located 14' due S and is brighter than the two primary galaxies in HCG 14. NGC 788 lies 19' E (also stumbled across in the area). ************************************************************ IC 0195 = UGC 01555 = MCG +02-06-017 = CGCG 438-019 = Arp 290 = VV 309b 02 03 44.6 +14 42 33 V = 13.0; Size 1.5x0.5; SB = 13.1; PA = 126d 17.5": faint, small, bright core, faint extensions NW-SE, 0.4'x0.2'. A mag 12 star lies 1.4' S. Forms a close pair (Arp 290) with brighter IC 196 2.2' NE. Preceding by just 2.2' is a nice mag 10.5/12.5 pair at 15" with two additional mag 12 stars to the SSW of the closer pair. ************************************************************ IC 0196 = UGC 01556 = MCG +02-06-018 = CGCG 438-020 = Arp 290 = VV 309 02 03 49.8 +14 44 21 V = 12.9; Size 2.8x1.4; SB = 14.2; PA = 5d 17.5": fairly faint, fairly small, nearly edge-on 4:1 SSW-NNE, 1.2'x0.3'.

Appears very similar to IC 207: very faint, small, round, 25" diameter (elongated 5:2 on DSS image so probably viewed core only), weak concentration. The IC positions are incorrect due to a mix-up by Javelle with his offset star. ************************************************************ IC 0207 = MCG -01-06-054 = Ho 57b 02 09 39.3 -06 55 20 V = 13.9; Size 2.2x0.4; SB = 13.6; PA = 99d 18" (11/22/03): third of 3 with IC 206 3.6' SW and IC 209 13' SW. IC 206 and IC 207 for an equilateral triangle with a mag 11.4 star 3.4' WNW. Although this galaxy is quite elongated I must have just recorded the brighter core as appeared very faint, small, round, 25", weak concentration. ************************************************************ IC 0209 = MCG -01-06-051 = Ho 56a 02 08 58.7 -07 03 32 V = 13.1; Size 1.5x1.1; SB = 13.5; PA = 60d 18" (11/22/03): brightest in trio with IC 206 10' NE and IC 207 13' NE.

Surprisingly easy for an IC galaxy. ************************************************************ IC 0223 = ESO 545-008 = MCG -04-06-031 02 22 00.7 -20 44 43 V = 13.5; Size 1.2x0.7; SB = 13.2; PA = 152d 17.5": faint, fairly small, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, broad concentration. Forms an isosceles triangle with a mag 11.5 star 1.8' N and a mag 12.5 star 2.5' ENE. Forms a pair with N899 5' SSW. N907 lies 14' ENE. ************************************************************ IC 0239 = UGC 02080 = MCG +06-06-065 = CGCG 523-071 02 36 27.9 +38 58 08 V = 11.1; Size 4.6x4.2; SB = 14.2; PA = 3d 18" (11/26/03): at 115x appears as a large, round, low surface brightness glow, ~3.5' with a broad, weak concentration to a slightly brighter 30" core. With extended viewing the surface brightness is somewhat irregular with a hint of structure. Located just N of a mag 8.6 (2.2' from center) which detracts somewhat from viewing. The galaxy is cradled by a distinctive curved string of mag 10-11 stars close west. 17.5" (8/6/02): at 274x appeared faint, fairly large, slightly elongated ~N-S, ~3' diameter. The galaxy exhibited only a broad, weak concentration with no defined core. The halo faded at the edge and was ill-defined. Situated between mag 8.6 SAO 55698 just off the south end 2.2' from center and a mag 9.6 star 3.3' N within a distinctive asterism of 5 brighter stars.

With a H-beta filter, the central star is strongly dimmed but the halo is significantly enhanced, dramatically changing the view of this planetary. At 380x, no color was visible but the halo was a bit asymmetrical with a "softer" edge and possible double shell structure. The center was very slightly darker around the central star. 17.5" (12/30/99): at 82x the mag 10.5 central star was enveloped in a very small round halo which appeared to have a slight reddish tinge at its edge. This is a low-excitation PN and using a H-beta filter, the halo brightened and the central star faded, leaving a more noticeable disc. At 220x, the prominent central star was surrounded by a well-defined 10" halo which partially "blinked" on and off switching from averted to direct vision. At 280x, the small halo was possibly surrounded by an extremely faint envelope, but this could not be confirmed. 380x and 500x presented a superb view of the inner disc which appeared weakly annular. 17.5" (3/8/97): unusually bright mag 10.5 central star surrounded by a small high surface brightness halo. At 220x, this planetary has a distinct "blinking" effect; staring at central star partially washes out the halo and with averted the halo is more dominant.
