Description:
Object appeared as a sparse star cluster at first.When slewing away from field my averted vision picked up VERY slight nebulous glow from 2 stars.When recentering starfield I inserted OIII filter and nebulas contrast intensified greatly.As minutes went by with averted vision much dark and lighter matter appeared.With much vigor I went for higher power to attempt to extract more detail but nebula dropped below my neighbors roofline and into a light polluted abyss.
