Class: 
Constellation: Cyg
Data: mag 8.8  size 25"
Position: RA 19:45  DEC +50:31
Description:
Near the double star 16 Cygni; I can see both star and planetary sharing the 
same field of my lowest power eyepiece (Plössl 32mm). Even with that eyepiece 
(31x) the nebula appears as a small unfosused star. The disk is clearly seen 
at 80x, but 167x give the best view. The central star is easily seen; the 
nebula has a round shape and a pale blue color. The UHC filter makes it
brighter and easier to see.
