Borisov’s nebula

Common name Designation Constellation  Star RA Dec
Borisov’s nebula Cepheus 21hr 37m 18s +66° 51’ 57”

Borisov’s nebula is a very recent discovery. A very faint blob in Cepheus was noted by Gennadiy Borisov (perhaps better known for the interstellar comet 21/Borisov) in 2020 and it is just becoming a target for amateurs. More monitoring is encouraged.
