Description:
Very bright "nebulosity" (haze of unresolved stars), with at least 5
individual * easily resolved. It feels like I can't resolve other
stars because they are just too close to bright ones. If I could
somehow remove those bright stars, I believe I could see at least 10
more fainter stars.
