Notes: B 113 is located about 38 minutes NNE of B 110 ... the patchy Dark Nebulae running N-S to the West (right) of B 113 is not a Barnard nebulosity. The CDS lists TGU H296 P3 (see here for some info on this catalogue) at this position. This chain of dark patches runs from the top of B 110 due north for about 45 minutes.
