It really is quite a large object. Once tracked down with a wide field ep, it's great to explore the finer detail using a 12mm. So much detail!!!
It's one of the most beautiful objects in the sky.
Wow!!! Thats great jjj.

Thanks Suzy - will have a read of that, and think I have read some of his stuff on filters before .... but have forgotton it all.

Thanks Kev - yes, that little star seems to be the secret.
