8" f/6, 150x, Bortle 4-, SQM-L 20.9
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.
