Description:
In Aquila, just at the S of B143. Just like B143, B142 is observed without
problems with the 9x63 binoculars. The dark cloud shows a East-West stretching.
Afterwards a few attentive minutes of observation, it takes the shape of a “L”
reversed. This nebula is very dark, as if there were a hole in Milky Way.
