Description:
Difficult to see this one tonight. I have easily observed it on other
nights. I passed by this faint nebula on the first try. On the second
try, I was able to see the nebulosity--I wouldn't have noticed it if I
weren't familiar with the stars around M78. Difficult to see much
tonight except that it is there.
