(IAAC) Flaming Star nebula - an IAAC challenge!

[Lew Gramer]

Adam, thank you for sharing this, and thanks to all who have responded that
they will try for this object soon with their telescopes! Adam and others, our
forum would really appreciate reading the details of your observations. And
you can enjoy seeing them saved for posterity in an easy-to-access, searchable
form on our online archive. Just enter your log via this simple Web form:

  http://www.visualdeepsky.org/enter-log.html

Or if you cannot do this, or have questions, please just let me know? (Note to
long-time readers also: the links on this form have now been updated...)

Clear skies, and again, great observation!
