Jay, I looked at my Sky Atlas 2000 tonight. Find Gamma Aurigae and Zeta Tauri in Taurus. In between those stars is 118 Tauri, which I found last month at my house in St George. I think it is a 4th magnitude star. If you imagine 118 Tauri and Gamma Aurigae as endpoints of a right triangle, the base of that triangle would be in Simeis 147, going east. Or, if you drew an imaginary line between 136 Tauri and 118 Tauri, Simeis 147 is about in the middle of that line, maybe a bit north. I hope this makes sense. Are you going to use your dobsonian reflector? Debbie On Sun, Dec 19, 2010 at 1:25 PM, Jay Eads <jayleads@gmail.com> wrote:
I am considering going after Simeis 147, an old SN remnant in Taurus, just down from M37. 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?
