Was checking the interesting objects in the constellation Orion using SkyTools 3 Pro. Noticed a nebula up in the club region. NGC 5458 appeared in the Interactive Atlas chart beside the grey blob. Googled the object to learn more about it, was interested in how bright it was, if it might be attainable through Richmond Hill skies. And immediately saw references to an object in Ursa Major! Huh? Completely different part of the sky.
Looked like a mistake in the SkyTools database.
Greg agreed...
What is interesting there is NGC 2174, a diffuse nebula, referred to as: Monkey's Head!
