Now heres one I can assure you will be a visual
challenge object even in a large dobsonian.  A huge 90
arc second planetary, 15th magnitude less than a
degree away from a brilliant globular cluster!  And
photographically it is a gorgeous cornflower blue
color.  Check this out:

Any observations or comments on this one?

Chris
