Central star steadily visible with direct vision and a 6.7mm EP, nebula faded quite a bit when looking directly at the central star, but popped bright blue/cyan with averted vision. Still have not repeated the glimpse of red detected in the outer ring several weeks ago on a night of good seeing and darker skies.
