No. That's what I get for being in a hurry when I didn't have the number in
my ole head. There's this other one that the Animal has been on about,
Sh2-308, just north of a naked eye star, 16 CMa. Haven't seen it yet, thus
the excitement. Only a very Wolf-Rayet shells we see from here, two in
southern skies, this guy, Thor's Helmet and the Crescent in Cygnus.

Thor's Helmet looks different every time I look at it, real interesting.
And another object down in that neck of the woods that deserves more
attention is ngc 2467, a big beautiful emission nebula complex in Puppis.
Another Blanchard favorite. Plays well with filters.
