Description:
A faint uniform oval nebulous patch aligned E-W.  It shows no detectable
brightening toward the core.  A 9th magnitude field star is located on
the NW edge and the glare from this star makes observation difficult.
Visible with averted vision at 77x, it actually bore magnification quite
well and was best seen at 128x-257x.
