NGC2022 (Planetary Nebula, in Orion)
Observer: John Callender (e-mail: jbc@west.net, web: http://www.west.net/~jbc/)
Instrument: 8-inch Dobsonian reflector Location: Carpinteria, CA, USA
Light pollution: light Transparency: excellent Seeing: fair

After star hopping to its location at low power, and being unable to distinguish it from other field stars, I was able to see a faint disk at higher power.

For comparison purposes, I tried locating this 12th mag. planetary (after having a tough time with NGC 1535 in Eridanus). Since I was able to use my Northern Hemisphere Uranometria, this was a much easier, quicker star hop, even though this planetary was much fainter. Never underestimate the value of a good chart when you're trying to find your way around. :-)
