This enlargement is a little too small for this nebula but the rich Milky-Way field provides a nice frame. The nebula is strikingly visible at first glance. The central part containing the multiple system BU 1 is very bright. There is a bright spot east-north-east of the star as well. The upper part of Pac-man's face is obvious but the lower part (the lower jaw) is very hard. I saw it only on the two last nights and almost only with 48x enlargement. But on the last night at the turning of September and October in 2011 I saw the whole nebula in the clear, good sky. Though it was pretty faint.
