Description:
Seen at 49X and 98X. Easily found and best viewed using averted vision.

At 203X, a stellar core surrounded by a bright central glow and a faint outer
halo. I saw several starlike features in the outer halo, but I'm not sure if
these were bright spots or actual resolved outliers.

There is a sketch on this object on my homepage: URL mentioned below.
