20cm f/6 Newtonian, Cave Astrola @ 76x
Seeing: 7 Transparency: 6 Moon: 0%

As with the nearby IC1203 a faint group of stars that could indeed appear nebulous in a smaller 'scope, the effect is best when rocking the 'scope, when still the stars begin to resolve given decent conditions and the 8" Astrola, a challenging star-hop south from δSco

Here is another asterism (2.0 x 0.5 arcmin) of 6 or 8 stars, fainter than those in IC 1203 (which see). This is a more believable object for a candidate nebula in a small telescope. Thome's position is good.
