It can be an ep thing to along with conditions. When I used to look
at NGC 104 & NGC 5139 with my 8" using the ep's that came with the
scope (cheap&nasty chung-wah ep's) they pretty much looked like
haze, with a scattering of stars on a good night. It wasn't until I ungrade
to U/O HD's that they started to resolve nicely. If you want a good
glob ep try a 10mm XW : )
