Before upcoming clouds I could see a very large, irregular brightening. Overall fairly bright, but due to the size this nebula can be easily overlooked.

bei 72x und UHC wird eine bauchige Aufhellung um den südöstlichen der beiden hellsten Sterne auszumachen, echte Konturen sind schwer auszumachen - Hin- und Herschwenken des Teleskops hilft, dann wird eine leicht faserige Struktur erkennbar - die Abgrenzung fällt dennoch schwer, denn die Grenzen bleiben diffus

PV Cephei is a so called Young stellar object, a star in its early stage of evolution. Associated with this star is the extremely variable reflection nebula GM1-29, a Herbig–Haro object (HH), which was invisible over several years even to larger telescopes. There seemed to be an outburst in the year 2013, so that the nebula could be seen even in smaller telescopes. I also read about some successful observations with 12". Reiner Vogel (a well known German observer) also confirmed this outburst on his webpage. A very interesting object, worthwile to visit it every year!

At first glance the 7.34m bright central star appears fuzzy. A closer look shows the nebula around this star as a quite obvious halo. At higher magnification (200x) some details were seen: Towards NNW the nebula was somewhat brighter, towards SSW I could saw an extension wiht a brighter knot. Overall the nebula appears very irregular with obvious differences in brightness. The open cluster Cr427, which is charted in Cartes du Ciel, stayed hidden to me. Just around the central star there are only some few, fainter stars.

bei 45x ist auf Anhieb zu erkennen, dass den Stern ein Hof umgibt - bei 72x ist der Irisnebel deutlicher zu erkennen und weitesten ausladend in Richtung Westen - leichte zarte Unregelmäßigkeiten erkennbar, von Struktur würde ich noch nicht sprechen wollen - bei 206x ist der Nebel noch offensichtlicher und im Westen wird eine kleine Dunkeleinbuchtung sichtbar

There was a brightening in the region of the brightest parts of the nebula, but subsequent researches and observations have shown, that this was just an illusion due to stars.
