Stunning tonight. The background stars are popping and the clarity is sharp. The glow was reduced a little when zoomed to 100x, and the cluster fit the eyepiece nicely. There seemed to be the shape of a spiral maze or web created. Possibly a new favorite!

Nice and solid orange. Forms a near perfect equilateral triangle with stars of a similar magnitude nearby.

Dim, but AV not required. AV helps expand the size a bit. Hard to resolve individual stars.

30x fills the view nicely, could almost miss it if I wasn't looking for it!
