Object: ngc7076
Category: Emission nebula
Constellation: 
Data: mag vFT  size 2'
RA/DE: 21h26m  +62o48m
Description:
This little emission nebula was easily found from alpha Cep, by
sweeping about 1o ENE to a nice elongated triangle of stars that
pointed S, of mags. 7, 8, and 9 clockwise from the W star. Near
the mag. 7 star at the W vertex of the triangle, n7076 was picked
out with averted vision as a slightly elongated (NW-SE) smudge,
brighter to the N, with a narrower center, and a S "lobe" which
was oriented more ESE. Best when viewed WITHOUT an OIII, but the
view was essentially the same with a UHC as without a filter.
