1-19-2023 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

by helicon

"First new object in 2023: NGC 2022"

For his first new catch in the year 2023 John Baars went after the small (30" x 30") planetary nebula between the head and shoulder of Orion known as NGC 2022 originally discovered by William Herschel on December 28th, 1785. At a magnitude of 11.6 is appears to be on the faintish side. However with a medium sized scope and sufficient magnification it can be pulled out of the surrounding starfield by an expert eye such as John's. Congratulations John on winning the TSS VROD for the day!
