New nebula "Roig1 Prades Sky" in the outer regions of M 33
In December 2023, Spanish Amateur Astronomer AleixRoig discovered a new [OIII] emission nebula in the outer regions of Messier 33 [DOI 10.3847/2515-5172/ad12d1]. He named is "Roig1 Prades Sky".
Last new moon I gave it a try with my 27-inch and the nebula was clearly visible as a longish smudge with [OIII] filter. So, this new nebula is also accessible for us visuals and I think it also could be a target for the 20-inch class.

Wow, congratulations! And thank you for suggesting this as a target for the 20" class. I'll give it a try.
By the way, have you also tried Maasewerd 2 Nebula, which can easily be seen on Aleix Roig's image?
In fact, Roig 1 Prades Sky Nebula can be seen on Peter Maasewerd's image: https://www.astrobin.com/full/wfo4l0/0/
