Hi! I have been looking for some challenge objects for my next observing session. I found Haro 3-75 in northern Orion. It's got a magnitude of 13.9 so I need to head into the desert for darker skies. It's size is 24" so it should not be too hard to spot if the transparency is good. I found some info on it at the Skyhound website. It says it appears more like an elliptical galaxy than a planetary nebula. Here is the link. https://observing.skyhound.com/archives/jan/H_3-75.html It says a 12 inch telescope is required for this one. Has anybody seen this object? I'm going to put it in the computer. Clear Skies, Debbie
