Observing Notes

Andrew Cooper
Dec 3, 2005    Sentinel, AZ (map)
46cm f/4.5 Deep Violet

Nothing can be seen of the nebula directly despite having Taurus near zenith, variations in the sky brightness hint at nebulosity through the region, in several places no stars can be seen in the field, a truly unusual experience with a big scope (this nebula is embedded within B22)
