Upon seeing recent pics of the world's funniest deep sky object, I've been wondering if it is possible to observe it in a 12" class telescope at high power under good seeing. Based on the pics I've seen, it is only bit smaller than the Homunculus nebula, so size-wise it should be resolvable - as in atleast a dark feature at its location (as I doubt the actual shape would be resolvable). Would there be enough contrast between the offensive gesture and the background nebulosity?
