Description:
A very hard catch in the faint constellation of Lynx. I expected something larger based on my map. It's perfectly round, with a definitely denser nucleus. Very faint - catalogues list it between 12 and 13.1 magnitudes, I believe it is closer to the latter. The air is full of dust particles because of fireplace heating in the neighborhood, which makes diffuse details hard to see.
