Description:
Way up high here, scope almost vertical. 

At x24 (40mm Kellner) see the entire object outlined well in gas, around other gaseous entities. You clearly see the dual stars to the NE, a center star looking about + 10 - + 12 magnitude, and dual stars to SE, all outlined in haze. The object fills 1/2 of my lens at this power. Quite a sight and easy to see but the mass does not become the spill of stars you'd see with stronger scopes. Find it by going NE 5 degrees or so from M 39.
