    "2.3 million light years and beyond..."


    NGC 588
    01h 32m 45.8s +30° 38' 55"
    Size: 0.9' x 0.8'
    HII Region + Star Cluster

    8" - 122x: Slightly elliptical, size 1', fairly faint, brighter non-stellar center?
    Jaakko Saloranta, NE Lim.mag: 6.0, Background sky: 2-3, Seeing: 2-3


    NGC 592

    01h 33m 12.1s +30° 38' 43"
    Size: 0.7' x 0.5'
    HII Region + Star Cluster

    8" - 122x: Roundish. Fairly faint. Even brightness. @400x the center shows some structure. Size <1'
    Jaakko Saloranta, NE Lim.mag: 6.0, Background sky: 2-3, Seeing: 2-3


    NGC 595

    01h 33m 34.0s +30° 41' 36"
    Size: 0.8' x 0.7'
    HII Region + Star Cluster

    8" - 122x: Roundish, maybe slightly elongated in N-S direction. Pretty faint but easiest HII-region after 604. Brighter center. Size ~1'.
    Jaakko Saloranta, NE Lim.mag: 6.0, Background sky: 2-3, Seeing: 2-3


    NGC 604

    01h 34m 32.7s +30° 47' 02"
    Size: ~2.0'
    HII Region

    12" - 195x: Looks like a distant galaxy, elongated in W-E direction, clearly brighter in the middle. The haze on the west is a part of M33. Sketch
    Iiro Sairanen, NE Lim.mag: 6.4, Background sky: 3, Seeing: 3
    -
    8" - 200x: Bright ~1,5', slightly elliptical glow with a brighter center. No stars resolved. UHC filter improves the contrast. Sketch
    Jaakko Saloranta, NE Lim.mag: 5.6, Background sky: 3-4, Seeing: 2
