Together with Frank Richardsen we tried the Voorwerp with my tracking 27" under good transparency around NELM 6m5+. F

First thought: "no chance", second thought: "lets try"
First we tried the ideal AP, we decided to take 586x, around 1,2mm AP. We used and tried no filter. First the neighborhood:
- IC 2497, direct vision, 1:2 E-W elongated with brighter nucleus
- 2MASXJ09410675 3443565 steadily with averted vision, small, round
- 18mag star 1,9'S with averted vision
- faint 18bmag+ galaxies N not visible
Than we start to look after Hanny's Voorwerp. In a 30 minute "Voorwerp-action" I could see a very faint but clearly laminar glow next to the IC. Sometimes it seems to be connected with the IC galaxy. During the whole time it glimpsed 5-6 times. I could not hold it, but the glimpsed position was to exact to forget the action. Frank independent saw exactly the same detail.
All in all absolute hard to detect, but we think we got it. Now it would be very interesting how the neighborhood looks in Jimi's 48" and Jerry's 30" to say when the Voorwerp could be seen.
