I observed this object on 21 September 2014 at the Okie-Tex Star Party using a 12” Skywatcher Dobsonian: Pretty dim. Could not discern much structure.

I obtained the calibrated lights frames used to create the final image from Telescope Live. The frames were imaged by the CHI-1-CMOS Telescope at the El Sauce Observatory in Chile.
