Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 2296 = IC 452, which see.  This, by the way, is a Galactic diffuse nebula,
not a galaxy.

Steve's Notes

=====

NGC 2296

17.5" (1/19/91): moderately bright but very small, round, very small bright core.  Sirius is 50' WNW and creates a reflection in the field!  This object is probably a galactic diffuse nebula located within an absorption patch.
