NGC 5367
18" (7/5/05 - Magellan Observatory, Australia): at 228x, this prominent reflection nebula appears as 2.5' round glow surrounding a delicate pair of mag 10/10.5 stars at 4" separation (h4636). The nebulosity has a uniform, fairly high surface brightness. About 2' N and 1.5' NE are a wide pair of mag 12/13 stars. The star situated 2' N illuminates a small detached piece of nebulosity. Deep images reveal this nebula is the head of a one degree faint tail (cometary globule CG 12) that streams to the SE.
17.5" (5/4/02): this unusual reflection nebula surrounds a bright, close pair of mag 10.3/10.7 stars at 4" (h4636). The nebula appeared a round, fairly faint, 3' glow surrounding the illuminating stars. Although the elevation was only 10¡, the hazy glow was pretty evident. A brighter mag 9 star lies 4' ENE.
