I finally got two shot on the little guy.

My first try was under good transparency and very good seeing here on my general observing site at the Alpine foothills.
I wrote: with high magnification the object shows as a clearly bend banana shaped object; there were several spots within the main banana, beside the main spot in the middle I count two more at each end of the banana; the faint extension to northeast was on the limit at perception, it first came out as a fussy appendix and in moments of good seeing it was visible as a single object; the star to the east was easy and direct vision, the second star to the north was at the very limit and only pops in and out of view a few times

Last weekend I used the new 41" telescope of my friend Jörg under average transparency and seeing but dark skies. The peaks in the main banana were also visible for two co-observer, one could only see two peaks, I identically three peaks; the extension was also visible but I missed to see the very faint star at the north
