Description:
A very small object, definately seen at 36X as a faint(about 11.3m)stellar
point. Confirmed by blinking with O III filter. At 180X (6mm Radian), just
suspected a slightly fuzzier appearance than surrounding stars. At 440X (2.5mm
Vixen Lanth.) the planetary was non-stellar with slightly fuzzy edges. The disk
appeared bright and uniform. I could make out a central brightening which I
believe was the central star.
