NGC 206: Starcloud in the Andromeda Galaxy M31
Barbara Mochejska created this color image of the NGC 206 field of M31 from data of the DIRECT project, an attempt to directly determine the distances of the Local Group galaxies M31 and M33, with Cepheid and eclipsinf binary variables.
Also note Martin Germano's image of the southwestern part of M31, showing M32 and NGC 206, and in particular the higher-res magnification of the NGC 206 and M32 part of this image.

NGC 7009, the Saturn Nebula, was given the designation of H IV-1 as it was the 1st planetary nebula he discovered, while NGC 7662, the Blue Snowball Nebula, was given the designation of H IV-18 as it was the 18th planetary nebula he discovered.
NGC 206, a starcloud in one of the arms of M31, was visible as well.
M42 (NGC 1976), The Orion Nebula, is an emission nebula and cluster with a magnitude of 3.7 and is 90.0'x60.0' in size.

Rotating CO rings appear to be present in the nuclei of galaxies NGC1808, NGC 4414, NGC 4565, NGC 4631 and NGC 4945.
IRAM 30-m antenna observations of edge-on galaxy NGC 4565 reveal 1.2-mm continuum emission (from dust) that follows CO near the nucleus and HI at the periphery; the results are interpreted as the first unambiguous detection of dust emission in extragalactic HI clouds.
It was found that the CO luminosities and 1.3-mm fluxes correlate, that the emission is concentrated towards the nucleus of starburst galaxies but extended along the spiral disk of non-active galaxies, and that the ratio of total IR luminosity to gas mass is about twenty times higher for active galaxies.

NGC 520, at visual magnitude 12, has been noted to be one of the brightest interacting galaxies on the sky, after interacting pairs of galaxies known as the Antennae.
NGC 205 to be unusual for an elliptical galaxy in that it contains at least two dust clouds (at 1 and 4 o'clock - they are visible but hard to spot) and signs of recent star formation.
Like M32, NGC 205 is a companion to the large M31, and can sometimes be seen to the south of M31's centre in photographs.

NGC 83 will be among a group of three mag 11.2 stars, all within 2' of the galaxy, and forming a small parallelogram with it.
The last two objects I found in this field were NGC 94 and 96, sitting close together (5' separation) and N of the line between NGC 83 and the mag 7.5 star to the E. NGC 94 is the closer of the pair to the line, but was a "maybe" with averted vision.

 Messier Object 31   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
NGC 206 in the Andromeda Galaxy (M 31) is the largest and perhaps the most massive region in the Local Group with coherent star formation taking place on a timescale of =~30Myr.
We find that NGC 206 represents the latest phase of an enhanced level of star formation in the southern region of M 31.
NGC 206 is located at the intersection of two spiral arms, suggesting that the interaction between the spiral arms is responsible for the enhanced levels of star formation.

As already noted in conjunction with the Milky Way, This is in fact why the spiral arms of these galaxies are so prominent: because they are regions of active star formation, there are many hot young blue and blue-white stars there, making the spiral arms extremely visible.
The adjacent image shows a star-forming region in the spiral arms of the galaxy M31 (Andromeda) called NGC 206 (Ref).

An expanded view of the region near the core of NGC 5194 reveals x-rays from a supernova remnant, the debris from a spectacular stellar explosion, first detected by earthbound astronomers in 1994.
Like other normal elliptical galaxies, NGC 4697 is a spherical ensemble of mainly older, fainter, low mass stars, with little star forming gas and dust compared to spiral galaxies.
As a result, NGC 253 and other similar starforming galaxies could ultimately develop a single, central, supermassive fl hole, transforming their cores into quasars.

Mochejska (Warsaw University), The DIRECT Project, FLWO, MDM Explanation: Nestled within the dusty arms of the large spiral galaxy Andromeda (M31), the star cluster NGC 206 is one of the largest star forming regions known in our local group of galaxies.
Astronomers are searching for variable stars in NGC 206, particularly pulsating stars known as Cepheids and eclipsing binary star systems.
About 3 million light-years away, an accurately known distance to NGC 206 and thus M31 is critical to the larger understanding of galaxy formation, galaxy evolution, and ultimately the distance scale of the Universe.

Subsequently, the "nebula" was also designated as NGC 224 by John Louis Emil Dreyer (1852-1926) in his New General Catalogue (NGC) of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars, which was first published in 1887 and later supplemented with Index Catalogue (IC) I in 1895 and IC II in 1907.
The brightest star cloud in Andromeda has its own NGC number, NGC 206.
One of the largest star-forming regions known in the Local Group of galaxies, Sir William Friedrich Wilhelm Herschel (1738-1822, portrait) noted it in his catalog as H V.36 on his discovery of the diffuse object on October 17, 1786.

NGC 206 is a very large density enhancement in the outer disk of the nearby spiral galaxy M31.

G38 and G44 are located to the south south-west of the giant OB association NGC 206.
These clusters may have been formed by the same mechanism that has caused the formation of NGC 206 if the density wave interaction located at NGC 206 has been propagating through the southern half of M31 at ~32 km/s with respect to the stars in the disk for the past 100 Myr.
This propagation velocity is also consistent with the age distribution of the Cepheid population near NGC 206 (Magnier et al.

I looked at a few of my favorite open clusters: M11 sparkled, though of course it showed fewer stars than are visible through a larger aperture; NGC 457, which I've always known as the "dragonfly", showed nicely; and with a 25mm Plossl, the Double Cluster in Perseus was gorgeous, with both clusters visible.
M110 was also easily visible, and I could detect a trace of brightening in the area of the star cloud NGC 206.
A nearby observer with a 4.5" was looking at M22, low in the southwestern sky, so I pointed there as well, and was rewarded with an excellent view of the globular.
