Description:
Just a little round patch with maybe a little more condensation in the center.
Possibility of a very faint star just on the N edge of it. Maybe 35" or a
little larger in diameter. I'd never know it was there without a good chart! 2/3 of the way from a brighter 9th mag star to about a 12. 5 mag star to the
NW.
