600/800mm - 24" (11/24/14): at 375x; fairly faint to moderately bright, moderately large, very elongated 3:1 E-W, 0.8'x0.3', fades at tips. Seems to have a sharper light cut off on the north side. A string of four mag 13-14.5 stars is close NE. Picked up 14' NE of IC 179 and surprisingly bright to have been missed in the NGC and IC.
