Glad you had a good night Orestis! Yeah, the little hazes are what you are looking for! Sometimes the cores are almost stellar, so they can look like a faint star with haze around them too. You're on the way now, getting your eye in on these difficult objects!!

I had a quick look at the group again last night - funny, I could see all the ones from the previous report OK, except for the mag 12.1 edge-on NGC 1386, which looked so good the other night! Shows how observing conditions can affect your viewing from night to night, especially when you're struggling for aperture.

Keep it up!

Cheers -
