Seen initially as it moved into the field of view, but then was gone. Unable to hold with d/v, but held more than 75% of the time with a/v. Very diffuse edges all around. Rough shape was possibly extended N/S by no more than 2:1. Some scope tapping helped a/v. O3 didin't seem to help, but the UHC did make it a bit more apparent with a/v. 27' N of a 5th mag star, and 6' NNW of a 7th mag star. A 14th mag star lies about 2' WNW. A very faint star is just off the very SE edge. -------------------- Scott Kranz 20-inch f/4.3 Starmaster w/Zambuto mirror 7-inch Starmaster H-alpha Coronado PST Denkmeier II binoviewers w/24mm Panoptics 16x80 binos Astronomical Society of Kansas City Powell Observatory with 30-inch f/4.9 EQ newtonian Astronomical League Messier, Meteor, Sunspotter, & Asteroid Observing Programs Coordinator ASKC Dark Sky Site Post Extras:       Alvin Huey Carpal Tunnel Reged: 10/18/05 Posts: 1831 Loc: NorCal Re: New planetary Nebula discovered?
