Another very easy catch from suburbia and visible in my 15x70's if mounted on a tripod. This one shows a nice disc at 166x and at 300x I see an evenly lit blue disc with no internal structure visible in a 6". I have sketched this one as well but it is just a slightly more swollen "star" in a background of stars. Hard to capture its magnificience on paper. What's striking about it is its color.
