I often look at the OC NGC 3293 then the OC IC 2581 then NGC 3247 and finally the nebula NGC 3199 with my 12" in that order.
I have never seen it as well as in your image of course. Here is the wikisky image http://picasaweb.google.com.au/dunlo...36538944937442

Thanks Glen..

I know from our previous discussion here on IIS that you and I share a common fascination with this region and in particular NGC 3199 and this cluster/nebula
