Here's an observing tip. When looking for small PNs, rack the focus out or in a little bit till the stars become slightly out of focus. If any tiny PNs are in the field, they will produce slightly larger "balls" of blurry light. Finding the right amount of out-of-focus is a bit tricky but once you try this on a viewed tiny PN, the amount will be determined for the next time.
OOHH! I just stared at your post and it blinked. Had to use averted vision to read it

I just noticed my "sage" classification. I wonder if I can change it from 'a wise person' to "tumbleweed" (got enough of them out here! Hit one the other day while driving at 50 mph (the dead bush was about 6' in diameter - it was FUN!
