Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 5076 is a fairly small (9 arcmin by 6 arcmin) diffuse nebula west of a bright star (BD +46 3011). Roberts's position is just east of the star, but as there is nothing else nearby matching his description, I've taken the nebula as the one he found. In addition to the BD star, there are many faint stars involved in it; I wonder if there might not be a star cluster here, too.
