finally, I have consolidated my binocular observing sessions of 2020 in this area of skies,
This are of skies is dominated by the Polaris Flare MW1, and by the Volcano Nebula MW3 in Ursa Major.
Under the best skies over my backyard, the central are of the Polaris Flare becomes even visible with unaided eyes.
The bright Volcano Nebula MW3 reveals a faint extension MBM 27-29 towards Camelopardalis, which eventually shrinks into the condensations.
Another faint brightening is around the Coddington’s galaxy (Cod), followed by a faint filament towards the Angel Nebula MW2.
The Angel Nebula MW2 is embedded in a glow, and difficult to extract with the binoculars, but confirmed through the 6”
New to me have been the both, but actually fairly bright bifurcating filaments, extending to the Polaris Flare MW1. The Lynds LBN 627, seems to be the only cataloged wide condensation in one of the filaments.
The Polaris Flare offers through the binoculars four condensations within its large extent.
When observing the Lynds bright nebulae in Cepheus in another observing program, I came across the MBM nebulae at NE of the Cepheus constellation, and found out, that they mark two another filaments pointing towards the Polaris Flare, and in fact, these both filaments are regarded as belonging to the Polaris Flare IFNs complex.
Visually, the area of skies within 30° around the Polaris, looks like being dominated with these filaments, which share the Polaris as a nodal point.
Another filament is extending from Kappa DRA towards Beta UMI, the bright condensation on Beta UMI might be a foreground ionized hydrogen, also confirmed by the MDW Survey.
This filament bends then towards Delta UMA, and the Mel Bartels Bowl of Big Dipper Nebula seems to be its condensation.
Finally, the dashed arc shows the position of a thin SNR shock front, so far not observed through the binoculars.
