Description:
A uniform round halo which brightens rather abruptly to a bright,
stellar core. A 10th magnitude field star is located off the NW
edge and a slightly fainter field star is positioned off the NE edge.

At 80x it appears as a slightly out of focus star. With increased
magnification it is more clearly seen but without showing any additional
detail. Best seen at 133x-267x.
