Re: (IAAC) NGC2313 a Dark Nebula??
Nice one Owen, thanks for helping to clear that up,
I had not realised that Harold's positions were JD1950, it becomes clear that
they were at least talking about the same thing at any rate, you conclusion that
Wolgang has made an erroneous description seems correct as well, interesting
that they both use DN but to mean different things though.
On thing for certain, I will be trying hard to get
a look at it later in the year!!

I think that Wolfgang has his description wrong. The object is
described in the NGC as F,vS,R i.e. Faint, very small and Round which would fit
the appearance of the bipolar nebula. It was discovered by D'Arrest probably
using an 11" refractor. There is a dark nebula from Lynds catalogue nearby but
that would not fit the initial description.

You're
sharper than I am Pierre! I was so intent on looking at the descriptions I
never even noticed that Corwin and Steinicke had different Co-ordinates for
the same object, in fact Corwin's position is nearly half a degree west of
Steinicke's and the DSS image for that position shows only a small asterism,
there is no apparent darkening of the background at
all.
Steinicke however has the
bright nebulas position, but describes it as dark.
The plot thickens!!
Either that or I have missed something fundamental
here.

Kim,
Checking the
Digitized Sky Survey for both positions reveals the same object as in the
picture you gave the URL to in your first message for Steinicke’s position,
and mysteriously nothing definite for Corwin’s position, though there might be
a background dark nebula, my laptop’s screen not showing it really much, maybe
it’s better on a “real” screen…
Still the
same laptop does show some (faint but definite) dark nebula at and around
Steinicke’s position. Steinicke quotes LDN 1653, which is a large object… Use
a large field of view to see it. I used 30 arcmins:
