NGC1647 area-wide NELM chart - Help in field testing an NELM magnitude chart
This post is to request the group's assistance in field testing a
Naked-Eye-Limiting-Magnitude chart for the wide-area around NGC1647, an open cluster in the Taurus constellation, currently at the zenith for 40 degrees north. This chart is also applicable to estimating NELM around the Haydes stream. This NELM chart is limited to low-variance photometry B, A and O single-stars. NGC1647 area wide v4.8 to 7.0 magnitude chart: http://members.csolutions.net/fisher...chart_mags.htm HD and Flamsteed name cross-reference chart: http://members.csolutions.net/fisher...hart_names.htm NGC1647 area wide star number system chart: http://members.csolutions.net/fisher...ar_numbers.htm NGC1647 area wide v4.8 to 7.0 chart infopage: http://members.csolutions.net/fisher...ect_v48_70.htm Prior NELM charts for this vicinity are the International Meteor Observers organization ("IMO" http://www.imo.net/visual/ ) naked eye limiting magnitude chart for the area bounded by Aldebaran (alf Taurus), zeta Taurus, and beta Auriga, titled "IMO Limiting Magnitude Area 8," with an accuracy of 10ths of a magnitude. See - http://www.imo.net/visual/major01.html#table2 IMO NELM Area 8 is located at the center of the NELM chart presented here. See - http://members.csolutions.net/fisher...chart_mags.htm This chart can be used as a supplement or cross-check against the IMO NELM Area 8 chart. I was unable to verify the identity of the specific stars used in the IMO chart, and for my application, I needed some statement of the uncertainty of the photometric or photoelectric measurements of each star's Johnson V and B magnitudes. Additionally, a Simbad search of stars in IMO NELM Area 8 returned many variables and stars in multiple systems. These stars could not be separated from the IMO star list. This NELM v4.8 to 7.0 chart can be used in conjunction with narrow field (1°) magnitude charts of NGC1647 for v9.0 to 13.0.
