Where Is Barnard 28 (a.k.a. MLB 32, LM 61, B28, etc.)? SkySafari Says Auriga. Everybody Else Says Ophiuchus!

I think there's a database error in both SkySafari-6 Pro and SkySafari-7 Pro regarding Barnard 28.  It's a Dark Nebula featured in today's APOD.  APOD says it's in Ophiuchus.  TheSkyX says it's in Ophiuchus.  Wikipedia says it's in Ophiuchus.  But SkySafari-6 Pro and SkySafari-7 Pro say it's in Auriga.

Somebody has it wrong.

  Mike,

  Interestingly my SkySafari-7 Pro search screen looks the same as yours -- except that mine says "Auriga."

  Yes, but you have B28 instead of B68

  OMG!  You're absolutely correct!  My bad.  I'll blame fat fingers.  Yeah, that's it.

  Thanks for the correction.

  Lol. No problem. I've been known to fat-finger things, too.
