Little PN and missing GC
Dear All
I noted an obscure GC on skymap so went looking for it as a challenge. It is called UKS0923-545
I read a viewing report that is was very diffuse and highly obscured but visible as a soft glow. I couldn't see anything so took an image of the region. The photo is 2 x 300 sec through my VC200l with a 40D and is 42arcmin wide.
I didn't see anything but there is a little PN called PK275- 2.2 visible in the middle of the image. The enlargement demonstrates it. I think it is cute as an incidental find.
There is a little cluster of stars about 8arcmins to the east (right in the image) of where the GC is suppose to be but I couldn't find any reference to it
In my images south is up and east to the right.
