Target: NGC 2392, Clown Face

Const: Gemini

RaDec: 07h29m +20.54

Scope: AT102ED

Setting: 110x

Image

SE of Wasat. Very bright, no AV needed. Was able to zoom up on it and retain clarity and definition at 110x. Occasionally, while viewing it will disappear from sight. If AV was required, this would make sense (similar to the blinking nebula), but this is so bright that no AV is needed. Perhaps the conditions tonight are affecting it somehow?

09:41PM

Target: NGC 2371, Gemini Nebula

Const: Gemini

RaDec: 07h25m +29.29

Scope: AT102ED

Setting: 55x, AV

Quite faint. Can catch glimpses with AV. The size is really hard to determine. My gut tells me that it's really small, but I can detect noise further out. The sketch indicates the size with the detected noise.
