Observation archive
The archive contains documented observations from Omega Observatory. Search by object, catalogue designation, or observed objects in a constellation and filter by object type, observing year or form of documentation. Switch between List and Map; the map provides an overview of the objects’ locations in the sky, and selecting an object shows its related observation reports.

Planetary nebula
M27 · Dumbbell Nebula
M27 was clearly visible without a filter; the Lumicon Oxygen III filter markedly increased contrast and made the dumbbell shape much more prominent.

Globular cluster
NGC 6229
The small globular cluster could be resolved into individual stars; two bright stars formed an almost isosceles triangle with the cluster.

Globular cluster
M13 · Great Hercules Cluster
M13 stood out clearly despite the still relatively bright sky and resolved into individual stars all the way to the core.

Planetary nebula
M27 · Dumbbell Nebula
A nearly full Moon produced low contrast; the [O III] filter improved the view slightly, but the nebula's form did not stand out clearly.
