Conditions in the target region: SQM-L 20.4
Right beside a medium bright star. At 80x slightly oval & almost evenly bright. At 150x evident with averted vision, oval. Center appeared slightly brighter, but not distinct. Probably I only percepted the bright core area.

120mm f/5, 75x, Bortle 4, SQM-L 21.0
Conditions in the target region: SQM-L 20.5
Towards horizon the sky was unfortunately a bit hazy. Difficult to held. Just a very faint, elongated, thin glow.

DIFFICULT
8" f/6, 80x, Bortle 4, SQM-L 21.0
Conditions in the target region: SQM-L 20.7
Quite high surface brightness, somewhat evident, thin and very elongated with tapering endings.

12.5" f/4.5, 160x, SQM-L 21.3
bei 72x ist die Superthin sofort direkt sichtbar - ein zarter OW-elongierter Strich - Ausdehnung 6:1 - bei 160x wird die Galaxie noch deutlicher und bleibt auf der gesamten Länge sehr flach und homogen hell - das Highlight der Beobachtungsnacht
