I was looking for the very faint supernova remnant, Simeis147 when I chanced upon this object. I reckoned that the SNR was between the two bright stars in the Taurus-Auriga area so I slewed my camera towards that area. But, what appeared in the display was the familiar shape of the Flaming star nebula. Aware of the possibility of short time of clear sky, I continued to shoot several frames until clouds covered the area. I was glad that I made the welcome "mistake" and I was able to image this object! However, Simeis 147 is still in my short list of imaging projects.
