Fantastic!
I'll have to give it a shot too!

I was observing the Seagull Nebula , with a refractor 152/760.
The 5.5nm H-beta filter is the best thing to use for this object. At 19x and 25x magnification,Sh2-296 and IC2177,can be seen with...

I like to scan the sky, especially near the "classics" and I was just observing near M106, when I found an IFN. I had no idea that there might be something there and the next day, while carefully...

Sh2-7 is a very difficult object to detect, and I could only do it thanks to the filter and excellent transparency, but I...

My mistake, sorry!,Thanks Scott for the watchfulness. This is not Sh2-1,but Sh2-7.I'll correct that right away.
These nebulae are large, the field of view rules here, not the aperture.

At my place (50* latitude) the constellation Scorpio touches the horizon. Even with the excellent transparency, the sky is brightened, without filters something faint, but Sh 2-7 was not visible....

I knew there were some dusts, but I did not know their exact position. Without the filter, there was no sign of IFNs.Only when I used the CCD B filter, I could detect it.
