Object: Minkowski 1-92 (Footprint nebula)
Category: diffuse nebula
Constellation: CYG
Object data:  12"x6"- reflection nebula

Description: looks stellar below 145x; nebulous object quite bright, round
and very small at 290x (about 10" in diam.); UHC filter doesn't help; a
mag12 star is 25"W and a mag11 star at 2.5'NNE.

I can provide a scanned drawing of Mi 1-92 to anyone who can read the
binhex encoding of Eudora (for Mac); just mail me to try
(ypothier@abi.snv.jussieu.fr), it works sometimes with other
configurations...
