Very bright. It could be seen glowing yellow through the finder scope. Very golden color.

Quite faint. Almost undetectable without AV. There appears to be a bright speck of a core that cannot be seen without AV.

Took some time to see. Had to let my eyes relax. Finally, with prolonged AV I got a faint impression. Mostly circular, but might be slightly elongated NE to SW.
