Thanks for the image Glen. I compared it to the rough thumbnail sketch I did and that's it, pretty much exactly as it appears in the eyepiece, with the shape very obvious. No wisp of ghostly gossamer here. I just want the cloud to buzz off so I can scout around, and check out its neighbour 4754. Virgo is a hard constellation for me, mostly hidden behind the house. Hopefully someone has taken some notes of this pair. Paul.
