Notes:

Another Barnard dark nebulae with an incorrect position ... My software (Megastar v5.0.12) lists B 9 at 04 19 00, +55 04 00, as does most online sources I checked. See this link for a CDS listing of objects in this area. There are at least five Barnard dark nebulae within this 3 degree area of Camelopardalis
