Data: mag 9.8  size 10 x 8
Position: RA 12:16  DEC 36:20
Description:
In Canes Venatici, at ~ 3¼° SW of 6 CVn. The location was difficult for lack of brilliant stars in this area in CVn. The object is very well positioned in the sky because it is very close to the zenith and only reveals itself like a small visible round nebulosity with averted vision. In moments, the object disappears and becomes very brilliant after. No other visible detail.
