Extremely bright. A bluish-green colour was immediately apparent. The nebula
is elongated almost E-W. At the tips of the elongation, thin but distinct
"ansae" extend beyond the brightest region of the nebula. There is some
further detail at the limit of visibility, but the only clearly discernible
feature was a dark spot at the eastern end of the nebula.
