Found south-east of β Trianguli. Close split, both appear a cold white-blue.

Cool white color. Almost thought it was a multiple star at first since caught a glimpse of a "glint" of light between the primary and secondary.

Can not tell which is the primary and which is the secondary, so I'm recording both PA's. Both are white in color, but only one of them has a little yellow in it.

- Type: Spiral Galaxy

- Setting: 21x, AV

Only detectable at the lowest magnifications. It's even detectable in my finder-scope. The moment I zoom in past 21x, I loose it completely. This object is so faint I can't make out much more than a guess of a size with AV. I can detect a "patch" of something there between the 4 stars, and it seems to be large enough to mostly occupy that space, but I cannot get any details.

Very close and for some reason I had a ton of trouble getting a clear focus. No matter how much I micro-focused, it remained semi-blurry. I was able to get it clear enough to guess the PA though. Both appear white-blue in color.

The split was immediately visible. Similar in size and brightness. White color.
