Jarrod, it jumped out at me in my 10x60's binos. I was surprised
I wasn't even looking for it and forgot it was even there and then I was scratching my head wondering what it was and the penny dropped in a few mins. No detail- just a fuzzy spot, sizable tho.

Here are my obs notes on NGC 6853 (The Dumbell Nebula) last year looking through a 10" scope:
Transparency & seeing very poor, looking thru cloud gaps and very windy. On this night OIII filter was needed to give any detail. Quite large, brightish. Squarish shape with points either end, top and bottom. Much like a knuckle.



haha, love it! love it! love it! Stephen
Hey what would be really cool (would it work?) is doing the same selfie but with a laser pointer to it .


Great to hear your report Orestis.
Let us know how you go with a telescope observation.
