Thanks very much Rob and PGC. I really appreciate your comments on my rather amateurish posts in this part of the forum.
Low surface brightness might make this one hard for me, but I'm not giving up. I printed off a much closer map, that might help. As far as size goes, as a comparison:
IC5148 2 arc minutes
NGC 6720 Ring Nebula 3 x 2.4 arc minutes
NGC3918 Blue PN 0.2 arc minutes
Doing that bit of research certainly helps visualise what the thing should look like in the eyepiece. I WISH I HAD AN OIII, a UHC, and a handful of Naglers to replace my old Orthos. Just can't afford those items, so will persist in testing the limits of my local seeing. Cheers, Paul.
