Description:
After the ambiguity of last night I generated a "close-up"
chart with DeepSky 99 and the GSC to sort out the objects in
this area. This one is just south of 5907/6, and lies in the
same field as 5905. It is pretty large, pretty bright, very
much elongated Np/Sf. Brightens very rapidly to a
spindle-shaped nucleus.
