The summer Milky Way offers some great opportunities for tracking down the best of Barnard's "dark nebulae". You need a fairly dark sky, but Barnard discovered them visually with a 6" scope, IIRC. We saw some in 70mm binoculars at Binopalooza. Thanks to Dave Bennett for pointing this out. Chuck --- "Warner, Kathleen" <kwarner@acs.utah.edu> wrote:

Thanks much all
