If you found your way to this webpage, you've likely read the December 2022 issue of Sky & Telescope and enjoyed Scott Harrington's article on planetary nebulae in Cassiopeia. Well, you've come to the right place to access finder charts for the targets discussed in that article. For each of the targets described in Harrington's article, you'll find a separate image below, except for B-V 1 and B-V 2 that are in the same image. The images are in the order in which the targets appear in the article.

Targets are identified by tickmarks. Nearby stars are labeled, along with their magnitudes (in italics). Field sizes are also given. Right-click on the image to save it locally for printing.

I am flabbergasted by reports like this where nebulae incredibly faint are detected visually with diameters as small as a few inches or even binoculars. Informations like sky darkness (SQM) and transparency, observer's age (cataracts starts at 50) etc. would help the reader as much as other parameters like total magnitude and surface brightness.
