Its an interesting object historicaly in that its formation was likely
noted by other astronomers almost a thousand years ago

i have viewed it several hundred times from Scotland, before moving down under, and its not bad looking, it looks more puffed out than the ring nebula in Lyra, and is worth viewing, it looked good even through a 114mm reflector.
Maybe Southern skies arent suited to viewing it
