NGC7662

Blue Snowball did not guite describe the sight in my eyepiece. Back then I did not have a possibility to add more magnification than this 107x. With this magnification NGC7662 is a very bright and almost stellar object. Later I have tried to see more detail (and color) with my radian, but seeing have not been on my side.
