April 26, 2022 Backyarder Story: What to do with a new discovery?
Over the past month, I worked hard to disprove my enthusiastic hunch that I had discovered an unnamed nebula in Scorpius.
This is the story of how the power of the internet glued my feet back to the floor, and might contain some handy references for you or someone you appreciate, who might occasionally require similar adhesion.
This audio is lifted from a YouTube video coming soon to my channel: Under Southern Skies. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDtps37oxaSINgwOgugwIdA
There you will be able to see more images of the object I am talking about, as well as briefly visiting the webpages and articles I refer to consulting. Keep an eye on the channel for the video.
