It's ID is Teutsch 11 and a nice H-alpha image of it you can find in our recent PN paper: Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:07:05 GMT Jimi Lowrey http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/amastro/message/22642 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/amastro/message/22642 Hello all I was doing some research tonight on objects to view for the next dark period. I came across this object on the Poss1 images and I could not ID it.

I assume then the dust hole will be too faint to check out in ordinary telescopes, but thanks for the information.
