vdB 99 emission nebula

[TrevorW]

Has anyone imaged this I captured over 6hrs of data on but have been unable to see the nebula after processing, any suggestions, thanks

No one else has chimed in, so this is my 2cents worth (prob less than that). I haven't imaged it but it looks like a very feint and difficult object.

My only thought is - you should be able to see the nearby ngc2149 (if its in frame)?

Thanks Chris at f/8 with a 10" scope my FOV doesn't include that object - I did some more research apparently the nebulosity is around mag 21 seems to appear better in wide field views with longer integration
