The nebula IC 417 is small and weak.
It's in the center but no trace of it.
Mostly because of the lack of H-Alpha sensitivity of my equipment.
A lot of improvement can be done here.
What's more interesting is the surrounding to the nebula, se the plate solve here: IC 417.
The open starclusters
NGC 1912 / M38 and
NGC 1960 / M36 are beautiful.
The star clusters M36 and M38 are also on one of my very early digital astrophotos:
M36, M37, M38 from 2008. |

Even at this crop around the central region doesn't show any trace of nebulosity. |
