Description:
With my small telescope this is a pretty hard object despite the great dark sky we have in our second home in the Zselic. With direct vision it's almost invisible, however by moving the scope all around you can notice a diffuse, silver glow. With averted vision I'm able to see even some details. Higher magnifications vanish the object.
