Brighter core was easily distinguished from the dimmer halo. I could see some detais but I could not say what they exactly were. There was just a brighter parts and dimmer parts and they were sort of "boiling" due to seeing I think. I could also see the central star a couple of times, but most of the time it was not there. This was the first target I used OIII filter (finally I got it after 4 months of waiting). It really brought this neula to my sight.
