Also one of my favorite object in the sky Jimi, very cool OOTW. My experience with different aperture (all without filter):
16": galaxy is visible as a very faint spot at the N edge sketch
20": galaxy is easy to see as a faint, 1:3 elongated nebula, brighter second stellar spot at the S edge of the ring, no CS
24": galaxy is easy visible as 1:4 elongated nebula, easy to separate from the ring, no CS
27": impressive view, PN easy with direct vision, round ring, galaxy 1:3/1:4 elongated, concentrated to its middle
