Description:
At 131x this rather faint nebula resembles a faint comet. The core of 
the "comet" head is a 10th mag star and the nebula fans out approx 7' to the 
SW. Interesting shape but otherwise unspectacular. Needs averted vision even 
under good and clear skies.
OIII Filter does not make the nebula stand out better.
