Re: Hunting the Dumbbell Nebula

Hi Jav, IIRC it's a bit more than 3 degrees north of Gamma Sagittae just over the Cygnus border. What it would look like depends on your aperture and magnification, but watch for something that resembles a puff of smoke.




That's how I find the Dumbbell Nebula myself. It kinda reminds me of an eaten apple.
