Personal "rating" this aperture: B-
This edge-on is particularly bright near the
core, with the thin extensions out on either
side. Viewed easily with all magnifications
tried, best around mid-range 150x or so. Due to
the somewhat light polluted skies, some effort
and averted vision was required to bring out the
extentions very clearly, but it was obviously
an edge on with a bright, slightly bulging, and
also elongated core. May have gotten a better rating
in better conditions.
