Lockman Hole

[JERRY TAYLOR]

Here is a 24 hr observation in which the Lockman Hole is apparent.  It is located at RA:10h45m  DEC:+58d    I was using the Pettit designed plate yagi which has a HPBW of approx. 28°. 

The Lockman Hole, or The Lockman Window, is an area of the sky in which minimal amounts of neutral hydrogen gas are observed from the perspective of Earth. The Lockman Hole is a relatively clear window on distant objects, which makes it an attractive area of the sky for observational astronomy surveys. It is located near the pointer stars of the Big Dipper in the constellation Ursa Major and is ~15 square degrees in size.^[1][2]

The Lockman Hole is named after its discoverer, astronomer Jay Lockman.
