Description:
131x magnification does show only NGC 7463 and 7465. 7463 (13,2magv) is a 
faint, SW-NE elongated oval of 2x0,7' size. It is brighter towards the center 
but does not show a nucleus. NGC 7465 (12,6magv) is bright with a prominent 
tiny nucleus. It is elongated NW-SE and extends over 1,2x0,7'. Tiny, faint NGC 7464 (13,3magv) does only show up at 342x magnification as a featureless 0,5' 
smudge of light. This trio of galaxies is located within a circle of ~5'. Just 
2' SW of 7463 an 8mag star blazes its light over the group of faint galaxies. 
The light of that star does disturb the observation of the 2 fainter members of the trio a little bit.
