Description:
Small, faint oval with a N-S elongation, although its real shape mostly appears with averted vision only. Its core is really spectacular with its tiny, bright, disk shape. To the North and South of this object lots of bright stars appear, but interestingly the FoV is still almost empty at this magnification.
