Description: It appeared as a slightly fuzzy star even at x22, but it was 
only appreciably large at x173.  It is nestled between 3 ninth or tenth 
magnitude stars, and is circular in shape.  Occasionally I could see a 
horseshoe of brightness around the N, E and S sides.  No flashing blue 
though!
