600/800mm - 25" (10/15/17 - OzSky): at 244x and 397x; moderately bright, fairly small, round, 0.6' diameter. Gradually increases to a small brighter nucleus and a stellar peak. An extremely low surface brightness outer halo was not seen at higher power. Collinear with a mag 11.7 star 3.5' N and a mag 12.2 star 9' N.
