At 73x, very bright at nucleus, with dark lanes in core area.
Elongated halo, but pretty small. At 168x, a row of 13+ mag stars
trails off to the SE. Dark area near core more distinct. Very much
brighter at nucleus, with stellaring at moments of better seeing.
Margins are elongated core area are distinct. Sense that there is more
here in outer envelope beyond grasp at this seeing. |

stellaring. With AV, hint of a brighter bar running lengthwise thru
center of halo. Long sides are very distinct. Elongated NE-SW. 12 mag

73x. 168x shows large elongated halo, stellar nucleus, and distinct
outer margins. Ends trail off to points. N lengthwise margin more
distinct. Halo shows granularity/ knotty clumps near core. |

with AV. At 168x, lengthwise margins very distinct. Gradual

Very large oval-to-round halo with flecks
of brighter light throughout at 73x. Very faint/ difficult; need AV to
see. A bit brighter at 168x. Stellar flecks in halo, including a
pretty bright one near center. Otherwise, light pretty even, though
some brightening toward center. Very like M-33 in shape, though much
smaller. |

Extremely dim at 73x -- looks much dimmer

fairly distinct (elongated SE - NW). At 73x with AV, very smooth
elliptical shape appears. |

Small, very concentrated halo. elongated
E-W, just W of 12+ mag star. Core area somewhat brighter than
surrounding halo. Both are elliptical. At 168x, core becomes very
bright, with knotty appearance toward nucleus. Ends of halo flare
longer with AV. Lengthwise edge toward star is more distinct. Looks
like core of M-31. |

only slight brightening; no stellaring. At 73x, fades a bit into bg.
