In the ongoing thread which addresses the observation of M1 under light

easy photographically.

I don't consider the capturing of an object with a camera (which CHEATS the
eye) as a valid observation of said object.

OTOH, some (including me) wouldn't consider a valid observation of M1
one carried out with visual aids only (i.e. telescope + EP), especially
in a light-polluted backyard!
