Skill Level
This is a challenging object because it is small and faint. Make sure you can track accurately and take lots of exposures.

Recommended Equipment
Use an SCT to get as much magnification as you can (while still tracking accurately).

A rich-field Newtonian is also suitable, though you may not be able to get as much detail.
