Description:
3753 was the only galaxy that was quite easy to discern from the faint glow of 
galaxies that were visible only with averted vision. At 342x I could make out 4-5 
separate patches of extremely faint light but I could not locate or identify those 
galaxies accurately. Copelands Septet is definitely within range of my 15-inch but it 
needs much better athmospheric conditions than this time.
