Instrument: 8-inch Dobsonian reflector   Location: Carpinteria, CA, USA
Light pollution: light   Transparency: excellent   Seeing: fair
Time: Sat Dec 27 09:20:00 1997 UT   Obs. no.: 272

A subtle, though fairly easy, dim grayish patch with averted vision at 38x. Large and irregular. At 76x was easier to position Zeta out of the field, allowing me to glimpse both the main N-S dark lane as well as a smaller lane near the S end extending from the main lane toward the E. The effect was of three distinct clumps to the nebula: A big western clump, a somewhat smaller northeastern clump, and a smallish southeastern clump.

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: good   Seeing: poor
Time: Sat Mar 1 04:45:00 1997 UT   Obs. no.: 82

The Flame Nebula was easy with averted vision at 48X in the 8-inch, even with Zeta Ori in the field: A large, irregular glow on the E side of the nebula, the dark lane, and a more-difficult glow on the W side.
