But first... just what is this 'mystery' prize on offer?
Are we being cerebrally swindled!
OK then how about epsilon Cap.
At least tell us what time it was captured?
Was it taken last night?

C'mon ving, how about a hard one? That is Sigma Orionis with Struve 761 at the top right. Now let's see - Monthly challenge December 2005 wasn't it ;) (http://www.iceinspace.com.au/image_zoom2.php?show=/images/logs/moc-2005dec/sigma_orioniszoom.jpg)
That's it, Paul.
Sigma orionis.

is it an "IC"?

It doesn't have an IC Venus. It is a multiple star just towards Rigel from the Horsehead in Orion.
