Description:
Very faint envelope around a 10th magnitude star at 350x, the halo is quite 
faint, a bit better with averted vision, no color noted, less than 1' in 
diameter, this object can be difficult to locate and confirm, at lower power it 
would be merely stellar, verified against the NSG photo, the NSG mentions the 
orange hue of the central star but this is not not obvious being quite subtle
