Description:
220X-NGC5585 appears as a very, very faint oval halo with a small non-stellar
core. The core is diffuse, becoming suddenly bright, small almost star-like.
The core is easy with direct vision, but the halo is difficult even with
averted vision. The halo gives the impression of being large with some
difference in brightness? (Vague impression.)
No other DSO's detected in the FOV.
