Description:
A light cirrus haze was present during the session.
I sought out IC1747, a small (13.0") magnitude 12.1 (visual) planetary nebula
near Eta Cassiopeiae for about an hour to no success. Despite using multiple
nebula filters, the tiny - nearly stellar - planetary proved to be elusive.
Larger aperture and/or a more specialized filter would likely reveal this
object.
