400/500mm - 18" (5/28/06): fairly faint, moderately large, slightly elongated, roughly 1.2'x0.9', only a weak broad concentration. The halo is irregular with averted vision and appears elongated 3:2, though at other times appears rounder. On the DSS there is a faint extension to the west and perhaps I was picking up this section with averted.

18" (3/13/04): faint, fairly small, elongated 2:1 WNW-ESE, 0.6'x0.3', low even surface brightness. Observation made through thin clouds.
