A relatively faint glob under my suburban sky, will return to sketch now that it is in a good position.

Wrapped up the PN observations with this fun object. Best seen without any type of filter, as the 'blinking' nature disappears under the filter. A good outreach object to show newcomers with a star right next to it to quickly teach averted vision and show off the 'blink'.

Revisited. Slightly easier to see this time around, but only because I knew it was there. :) Still a tricky PN in suburban sky with a nearly full moon. With a 1' size worth another look under darker conditions.

Revisited this PN in my night of PN observing. Noted last time I observed to revisit to look for detail. Tonight I noted the WNW corner was brighter, with stellar-like spot in that corner. Still want to revisit under dark and stable conditions, this object hints at wanting to give up more detail each time.

Large PN, with the moon glow it was washed out but held with direct vision after spotting it with averted vision as it came into the field of view. Good view in the 8.8mm EP + UHC considering the moon. Will revisit and sketch under dark sky.
