10.1'' reflector  96 x with Speers-Waler ep. and Nebula filter
 
A bright, small planetery nebula about 1.5 degrees west of Epsilon Aquarii. Poor seeing limited useful magnification down to 96x. Approximately 1.5'-2.0' across. Could detect some elongation in an east-west direction, but not the actual spikes that make it appear like Saturn.
