Description:
In Andromeda, at more 2° E of Iota And. Near the zenith, beautiful nebula with an effect of "blinking" very perceptible. By alternating direct vision with the averted vision, the effect is more spectacular. Although stellar in apperance at first sight, I note by observing attentively that the nebula isn't a dot like a star, but seems like a small oval of turquoise color.
