Description:
220X-NGC4939 appears as a diffuse oval, fairly easy with direct vision.
It shows a tiny bright core. I looked for the spiral arms without success.
I think I see something, but it's like an extended halo without any structure
and very faint when jiggling the scope.
440X-At this power all I can see is the core. It is elongated like a bar,
oriented near North-South.
