M40 is just a pair of 9th mag stars in Uma, guess Mr. M had a bug on his eyelens that night, no fuzz at all, faint or otherwise.

Got this one a week...

I have found that some Messier objects look just as good widefield as they do in close-up. I don't enter mine in competitions, as I don't have a...
