25cm f/4.5 Newtonian, Holoholo @ 42x
Seeing: 7 Transparency: 7 Moon: 0%
Very large, quite faint, a large region of glow that fills a good part of the field, no structure noted, roughly circular, 30' diameter, best seen when panning across the object
Note... Use of the 27mm Panoptic eyepiece puts the 10" into RFT mode... 42x, a 1.6° field, and a 6mm exit pupil, ideal for hunting down low surface brightness objects such as the Draco Dwarf
