Description:
Sky conditions more transparent than usual, missed this one on prior outings,
was in good position, scanned with Plus 130X and popped into view, nearly
obvious with elongation, center faded but outer limbs visible. Near limit of 3
inch aperatures excited that I at last viewed this one. My Location is nicely
open but fighting light polution, however filter was not needed. Pleides Nebula
was brighter than normal, also Great Orion was luming larger than prior
viewings, a great night indeed.
