Albert;
Here is an observation with a 10 inch Newtonian.
Sharpless 2-261 10" f/5.1 Flatiron S+T=6 Very faint, large, irregularly
round. The UHC filter helps the contrast somewhat. Shown as 30X15
arcmin on U2#182, I only saw about 10 arcmin of glow around an
equilateral triangle of stars on the west side. The hood helps the
contrast quite a bit. Also, moving the scope from dark sky to site of
nebulosity helps show off the glow in contrast to a dark area nearby.
Lots of fun;
Steve Coe
