Check out APOD, it features Simeis 147 and an eclipsed moon. 7x width of full moon may be an underestimate, binocs with nebula filters may be best equipment to view it.
Thanks Kurt! Jim's image looks good. Joe, yes, hard visual and probably a
hard object to image as well. Well worth it in my opinion, the width of 7 full moons and its around 99,000 years old!

I have found this image http://www.eanet.com/kodama/astro/2002/0112/3-3.htm which should help, but am wondering if anyone here has a better finderchart for this object?
