Description:
At 37x it is spherical, with a dense nucleus and pale periphery.  At 188x the 
periphery is resolved but very faint, severa dark areas, nucleus resembles an X.  It is very nice, must spend more time on later.  Upon reading about this later, I realized that I forgot to look for the planetary nebula.  Need to do that
