Misremembering which cluster in the S part of the Winter Milky Way contained a planetary nebula, I spent about 10 minutes probing M50 at high power in the 8-inch, looking for a nonexistant planetary. Of course, I was really thinking of the planetary in M46 in Puppis. Duh.

Picked up sweeping with 7x50s. A pretty, compact glow with a few brighter stars in front. This whole area of the Milky Way is beautiful in binoculars, in contrast with its absence of bright stars to the naked eye.
