There are lots of small nebulae in the skies that are rarely imaged. A survey of bright nebulae was undertaken by Beverly Lynds with the 48 inch Palomar Schmidt telescope in the 1960s. CED 44 is one of these objects. CED 44 is an emission nebula, and it is quite faint in smaller apertures (like those used by most amateurs). It is a challenging object even for a fast scope like the RASA.
