Description:
This tiny planetary nebula is located at a declination of +82? and it's easy to 
find from Epsilon UMi, wich is at the same declination. The bright double star 32 
Cam is only 1? from the nebula. I can see IC 3568 at 50x and higher powers, with 
an stellar appearance. The UHC filter makes the nebula the brightest object in the
field. With 167x I can see a very small disk, best seen when compared to well 
focused stars.

This bright planetary nebula appeared in the eyepiece moving the telescope almost

identificated as an unfocused star with a pale blue-green color. With 100x and UHC
filter an inner brighter zone is visible. Good view with 167x, but I can't see 
much detail due to bad seeing.

Description:
It was a very clear night. One of the best skies available in a city. With moderate-low light pollution, 5th magnitude stars were on the edge of visiblity. I could not actually resolve the stars of Omega centauri so well because of the effect of light pollution high above the southern horizon. Well I was really fascinated when I saw M4 because I had never seen it with my 2 inch refractor. Another thing was that it was readily resolved into stars through averted vision.
