Hi Andrew, Long time astronomer but new to my LB12".
What am I going to see from a dark site when looking for Shapely 1.
A friend on Saturday had a detailed close up map of SH1, I found the general area on my Sky Atlas 2000 which are very good charts.
What is the best mag to use once you are on the general area.
As a common thread, compared to the ring nebula at 60x what am I going to see. I was probably looking at it but couldn't "see" it
