| Notes: * | This object is listed in my charting software (Megastar v5.0.12) as a dark nebula ... but appears more like a bright area of the sky. A CDS search of the area also reveals a designation of LBN 004.14+35.71 in this field ... I had to take 5 nights of data for this image, as two of the nights had continuous waves of high clouds |
