NGC 1880

24" (4/5/08 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): this is the 4th in a striking group of HII regions with the main complex consisting of NGC 1874, 1876 and 1877 just to the west by 2'-3'.  At 200x with a UHC filter NGC 1880 appeared as a moderately bright, small, round haze surrounding a star.  A brighter star ~40" SW is free of nebulosity.  Very faint haze is visible extending to the east and northeast.
