Description:
Bad sseing, windy, twinkling stars and lots of light pollution tonight.
Couldn’t see it at 22x (40mm Pentax XL), 30x (30mm Ultima) or 73x (12mm Radian).
Glimpse it perhaps at 110x (8mm Radian), but not sure. Found it to be very dim
and winking in an out at 146x (6mm Radian), at the edge of detection. Best
view at 220x (4mm Radian) and looked like a grayish, dim puff. So dim that I
wasn’t sure about its shape – oval perhaps! No fun.
