Description:
I managed to hunt down AND VI and AND VII last night, both were seen as no
more than slight field brightenings and each slightly brighter to the
middle using a 32-in in somewhat soft seeing and fair transparency.

AND VI
20N (183x)  Involved with and just S of a group of 8 faint stars about
            3' NE of a 10.09 mag star.
            Best seen with the field moving and averted vision as a very
            slightly brighter part of the field.
            Slightly brighter to the middle.
--
AND VII
13N (281x)  A fairly large and very slightly brighter to the middle glow
            just E of, and involved with a N-S rectangle of faint stars
            with the brightest star 11.44 at the NE corner.
            4.3' SW of the W member of an E-W 9.72-9.99 field double.
            The rectangle's W side points to a little knot of stars which
            looks non-stellar to the N inside a NE pointing isosceles
            triangle. This knot makes a small round spot!
20N (183x)  Broadly brighter spot just E of the rectangle of faint stars.
