M104's extended and tilted halo

In retrospect, I didn't see the extremely faint oval ring, but I did see the severely tilted oval of the extended halo. The portion above M104 is a little easier and a bit pointed; the portion below is broader and essentially not defined at all!

Mel what power were you using for this drawing?

The M104 sketch was done mostly at 115x, some at 190x. Mel Bartels
