Description:
Poorly visible at x40. Pick it up to x80 and with the deep sky, resolve it well. A small "house" is formed by five stars, the roof pointing NW at a tilt in this seeing and these stars are all around the same + magnitude /+12-14?). Taken with two stars as a tail to this house, you get an arrow with half a flag point thrusting north west.

Mist then prevents much more deep sky seeing.
