Dear DSF
Attached is my observation log. I concur with Jimi on almost all aspects, except I didn't see the glow as big as Jimi did. I should also mention that at lower power, I felt it looked a little elongated (as drawn) and at higher power, it felt more roundish -- Jimi saw it round both times.
I too think that it is accessible in smaller aperture given that it could be held steadily and was almost direct vision.
