the Wolf-Rayet Nebula WR-134 in central Cygnus, has been a hot topic in this September.
At first, Peter has made an excellent AP job on this extremely difficult nebula, published in our German Astronomy Meeting Point, and the final version is here https://www.astrobin.com/full/4u4wku/B/ . I have been following Peter's progress through the time.
So, for us visual people, it is a reminder to read, learn, and repeat the observing techniques as described in the Mel Bartels article on the visual astronomy, http://www.bbastrodesigns.com/visual.html
This is the very best article how to train the eyes at the eyepiece.
Enjoy this extremely difficult W-R,
JG

Thank you JG for these great references.
The image is astonishing.
The article is essential.
And the sketch my Mel Bartels, although of a completely different subject, brought to mind the view I took of the moon last night.
