Trans - fair with slight ground haze, seeing - very good, heavy light
pollution.
Fairly bright planetary. Easily seen in not quite dark sky. Very prominent
central star with fainter star just outside nebula. Ill-defined edges make
determining exact shape difficult. Star becomes less obvious at low power,
but nebula is more difficult also. Best viewed at powers between 100x-200x.
