Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 2631 is a reflection nebula. The position I've adopted is for the embedded star, HD 97300. The nebulosity is at least 30 arcmin across, with several large absorption patches involved. The brightest part, seen on the red and near-infrared images, forms an arc just east of the star.
