Description:
NGC 3242 is also known as “The ghost of Jupiter”, because when seen through a telescope it has a similar diameter with that of the planet. It is easily seen at 36x, bright, but with no visible details. Using 120x the round shape is more evident, but I still haven't managed to see any details.
