Very similar in size and brightness to M13. Pushing to 200x helped bring out the smaller stars in the denser middle of the cluster. Very beautiful!

Type: Planetary Nebula

Setting: 200x

Very much the appearance of a fat star. Can't get much detail of out it, though it is quite bright. I can detect some "noise" just to the south of it, but not sure if it's a trick of the eye.
