Dear Lynds

I hope you all made it home safe and sound.

Wednesday night as I was driving home the sky was GREAT. Very dark and the Milky Way sure stood out. I looked but did not see any nebula. :)

Using http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov I did a search and got a list of Lynds nebula with ra, dec, cloud area in degrees squared and rating of opacity.

I placed list on excel and sorted by opacity and then area.

Hopefully the list will be below for all 6 and 5 lens nebula.

Does any one know about what area we can look at in 1 hour?
