I was able to study this one in front of my home despite moderate light pollution. I used a Lumicon 0111 filter and two eyepieces, a ES 24mm 2" model 84AFOV and the ES 9mm 2" 100AFOV unit. My scope is a 16" f4.5 astrosystems scope.
With wider fields and lower power, the central ring structure appears lost in the substance of the planetary. However, at higher powers the ring structure becomes apparent:
