Nice report! I'll have to dig up my notes... suburban skies (LM around 4.5), 6-10" dobs, and see what I saw. I do remember seeing it.

Ah, dug it up. Found my remarks on the back of an Astrocard that covered M107. I wrote, "amorphous, no real resolution". It was positioned in the center of four stars, "like the cross piece of a kite". Best view was in a 14mm Pentax XL, at about 70x. That was in a 7" dob.
