Aside from the "rings", all I saw was a big green blurry blob...not much visible structure within the main body.

I only went to 250X and didn't see much apart from the main, somewhat oval shape, but I am using 20 year old Celestron Orthos. I wouldn't like to push them to over 500x.
I notice from the excellent sketches, that you are using Vixen LVW's. How do you rate them? Another observer nearby uses the Hyperions and rates their 68 degree field to be more natural than the rather distracting 82 degree Naglers, impressive though they are. Naturally I haven't had the chance to do a comparison. Cheers, Paul.

THe LVWs are nice, but don't have anything to compare to apart from a few plossls I have. After becoming accoustamed to the LVWs, looking thru a plossl is like looking thru a straw.
