Description:
Very bright and intensively blue-green at 78x. At that magnification the nebula 
shows up almost star-like. At high power (342x) the color remains bright blue-
green. Some mottling and a possible darkening towards the center show up at 
that magnification. No central star visible. The brightness of the object makes it 
difficult to make out details within the small round cloud. Seeing (not perfect 
tonight) is also an important factor.
