Description: The eastern wisp is brighter and better defined
than it's western counterpart. The brightest area is due south
from the Trapezium, which was easily resolved at 133x but
difficult at 63x. The bright central areas are strongly mottled.
M 32 was visible as a homogenous round glow around a bright
star.
