With all this talk about Jones 1 (Jn 1), don't forget about Jones-
Emberson 1 (JE 1) in Lynx which measures a whopping 405"x360" and
also has enhanced arcs along the rim. Here's my last observation of
Jones-Emberson 1. BTW, there ain't no Jones 2 or Jones-Emberson 2,
or Jones anything else AFAIK. Should also be doable in an 8-inch
with O-III filter.
17.5" (3/2/02): excellent view at 64x (31 Nagler) and OIII filter.
Appears fairly faint but clearly quite irregular in surface
brightness and with a nearly 6' circular boundary. The center is
darker giving an annular appearance and brighter arcs are along the
NW and SE borders with the large SE knot slightly brighter.
