One of the objects I had never thought I could see. It was not visible with averted vision at medium magnification. I switched to high magnification. The rich background of M46 made things uneasy. Then I used Orion Skyglow filter and the nebula was barely visible through the filter + averted vision. It appeared a bit diffuse, unlike other NGC planetaries which appear as out of focus stars. Thanks to the nebula filter without which the planetary nebula would not have been visible.
