Easy to detect, could be seen in the finder-scope as I was aligning to λ Leonis. AV helps expand the size a bit, and can bring out patches of light near the center. Attempted a closer view at 57x, and could repeatedly see a speck of light at the center with AV.

• Target: M 44
• Const: Cancer
• RaDec: 8h41m +19°35
• Scope: ST80
• Setting: 19x

Was ready to go in, and as I gazed up at the sky my eyes were drawn to the bright patch in the center of Cancer. Decided to turn the telescope to enjoy M44 again. Always a treat.
