In my 12” Goto dob I’m usually using my Panoptic 27mm or Delos 17.3 mm at a magnification of 66x to 86x ( eye pieces APFOV 68 to 72 degrees)
Did you fit the whole glob in your FOV ?
What eye piece did you use and what Bortle skies do you observe under ?

Hi mate. I used my 5mm Saxon 68 degree eyepiece combined with my X2 Barlow lens. This was actually the first time I've observed a DSO at such a high magnification. I just wanted to try and see what happens. Turned out surprisingly good! The whole core of the glob fit in. I observe in Bortle 6 skies. Cheers
