It takes magnification quite well (190X in the 10 inch) and presents an interesting, irregular form. An OIII filter helps, considerably. An even more challenging planetary, is Jones-Emberson I. It's not well-placed for observing this time of year but wait 3-6 months and this object will give an 8- or 10-inch scope a real workout.
