Description:
At 131x this rather faint nebula resembles a faint comet. The core of
the "comet" head is a 10th mag star and the nebula fans out approx 7'
to the SW. Interesting shape but otherwise unspectacular. Needs
averted vision even under good and clear skies.

OIII Filter does not make the nebula stand out better.
