Description: at 36x, next to 16 Cyg which is a nice double easily split; at
this power, the PN shows only its fuzzy apperance; at 72x, small and round
nebula; with averted vision, the nebula seems larger; at 100x, quite
bright, stellar center apparent, adjacent faint stars visible; at 150x,
blink effect just detectable.
