Good job Orestis, thanks! You should have no problems with the 8-burst Neb in your scope, it's just a matter of knowing what to look for. A detailed chart should help you so you can nail down its exact position in the field. In my (smaller) scope at low power, it looks like an ordinary mag 10 star - avert your vision and bang, there's quite a bright white 'donut' huddled close around it. You should be able to up the power a bit too. In big scopes it's an amazing object, so much complexity to it. Good luck with it!

Cheers -
