Extended and very faint bright nebulae are found in high (b≳ 30°) galactic latitudes at the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) (Lynds, 1965) and even more pronounced at a very sensitive photographic survey of the galactic polar caps by Sandage (1976). Such a nebula, located in the constellation Draco and called “Draco Nebula” or “Dracula”, was found to be in detailed positional coincidence with a 21-cm emission line feature at a LSR velocity of VLSR ≈ -22 km s-1 by Goerigk et al. (1983).
