Observing tips
This is rated as an easy target at magnitude 6.1. It is associated with winter observing, with midnight placement typically strongest around January. From 52 degrees north its theoretical meridian altitude is about 49.8 degrees; local horizons and the live altitude chart determine the practical window.
A small telescope under reasonably dark skies is a good starting point; use the live altitude chart to choose its highest point.
What to expect
The SIMBAD classification for the matched source is OpC. A published radial velocity value is 33.9 km/s. The SIMBAD record currently connects it to 2558 bibliographic references.
Its roughly 25 arcminute span suits a medium field of view. Use the listed 25 by 25 arcminute extent to check framing, and treat catalogue magnitude as integrated brightness rather than a direct measure of visual contrast.
