Description:
Could not be seen at 22x or 30x. A very dim puff of elongated smoke at 73x.
Very small. This is probably only NGC 2672. The galaxy seems to be touching
the border of a group of 4 stars forming a parallelogram: GSC 1396:1530, GSC
1396:1432, GSC 1396:2450 and GSC 1396:1722. The galaxy lies closest to star
GSC 1396:1432. 110x revealed a definite elongated shape with averted vision
and brightening toward the center. Dimmer at 146x and too dim at 176x. I
don’t think I saw NGC 2673.
