Does anyone here observe dark nebulae  Last night I aimed the scope's e-finder at Pluto's field and was surprised to record, what I initially thought, was a camera artefact but a camera shift and re-record [here combined] proved it to be dark nebula B84A just north of OC M23 in Sagittarius and a few degrees northeast of the famous Snake Nebula B72+

Hi nytecam,
In June I looked at a few dark nebulae in Cepheus, Sagittarius, and Scorpius.

I had a lot of fun at the Nebraska Star Party with a 105mm refractor running up and down the dark lanes of Sagittarius. My favorite dark nebula (aside from the Horsehead) is probably Barnard 86, which sits next to the small open cluster NGC 6520 near the western edge of the large Sagittarius Star cloud. There are also several larger ones that border the M24 star cloud (Barnard 92, 93, and 307). Clear skies to you.
