Description:
located directly south of a bow consisting of 3 stars.
In the 24 mm WF (105x)+ OIII I see this Abell as a large homogeneus planetary
disk with partly brigher edges. 
To the South and to the West brighter arcs and at the NE-edge a brighter knot.

The galaxy at the W-edge I could not see (tried without filter)
