....from observing lmfao

and thanks to everyone for their kind words Oh and the PGC galaxies I mentioned, they were m,y first PGC objects so I'm stoked over that ...now if anyone has the magnitudes.....

BTW, I actually forgot to add one object:

IC 4721
A large, nearly edge-on spiral galaxy. I couldn't see it, although at 217x I thought I could hint at a faint streak, but couldn't confirm it for sure after half an hour of intent observation. Listed as mag 13.3 but is large. Another, much smaller elliptical galaxy is located just to the SW, I spotted this galaxy, it was visible although avertd vision required. The online mapping program I was using to get the mags of these galaxies and stars didn't show this small elliptical, but upon further research I believe it is IC 4721A . Once again, I couldn't find magnitude for this so if anyone can help out.....that is ofcourse most welcome.

FYI, the program I used to get the mags of the stars I reported is www.sky-map.org
