That is such a difficult object to find as its so small so very impressive to sketch it. When I imaged this it took an age to find but I clearly remember the group of 3 stars.

I've not heard of this one before - is it just the three stars? or are those "stars" actually clusters?

As far as I'm aware one of the triangle of stars is the globular cluster within M31, so outside our galaxy and the other two are line of sight stars in our galaxy.

I hope this is right, I'm sure someone will put me right.

That makes it all the more impressive - globs from another galaxy.

Oh, that is really special Mick!! I get goosebumps just looking at that. A good case to keep your scope
