Description

This reflection nebula, not so well known due to its proximity to the Cone Nebula and the Christmas Tree Cluster, is cataloged twice in the IC catalogue, as IC 447 and IC 2169, due curiously, to the fact that it was discovered twice by the American astronomer Edward Barnard, the second time, obtained more resolution and signal, and believing that it was captured another nebula presented to Dreyer, author of the IC catalogue. Neither Barnard nor Dreyer ever realized that it was actually the same object, and the duplicity continues to this day.
