This is a very small object too, so you need a large scope and good seeing to capture detail. I stumbled on it by accident once. It was a nice surprise indeed, Geoff.

Bright orange star in the cluster just would not want to come to focus. What could that be. Up the power, and aha! nebulosa! It's clearly visible even from my light polluted back yard, but dark skies will let you crank the power more.
