Just got back from an observing night on the 82" at the McDonald. We observed the parachute under pretty good skies. In the 41mm Pan (400x) the a,b and c components formed a nice little curve with a and b occasionally split. Bumping up the power to 1300x, and a little tweaking on focus to chase the seeing, c could be split as well. When c was split d became visible as a soft little glow.
