Description:
Was able to locate one of the two companion galaxies tonight. At 32x, visible as
an almost, but not quite, stellar object, which higher power confirmed. At 120x,
there was a bright core surrouonded by a faint haze, both being circular in
shape. However, try as I might, could not locate M32.
