What's really crazy is how bright it is and how massive it is. It's 6 times wider than the moon. Granted, I don't think we see that much 99.9% of the time. I'd be curious to know how it looks under REALLY dark skies. I can just see it naked eye at my place, but it's much better with some binos or a scope. But it's gotta be a low mag EP.
