Found It!!!
Thanks for the map Glen. After some finger pointing and star hopping it wasn't that hard to find. I started with the 32mm and thought, have some sense, it's a PN - small!! The 12mm Ortho with the old nebula filter screwed in was best. That's as much power as I normally use, except on moon and planets. Movement in azimuth is still rather jerky. The central star was very prominent, there was a sense of structure about it, but I wasn't too sure. I wish I had Rob's 16" mirror and fancy eyepieces and filters. Also spotted NGC2392, very similar object in size, although the gaseous envelope seemed more diffuse at the edges, but again I am not sure. All in all it was a good night. Rob has been posting on the Northern Rivers thread, that's where he mentioned the Eskimo Neb.
