Description:
At 135x (15mm Panoptic, 30' tfov), NGC7419 is a very faint, 2'x1' NW/SE patch
of haze. The, relatively, quite bright lucida (not a field star?) is at the
NW edge. Two close and quite faint stars lie near the SE edge of the haze.
One additional star is visible with direct vision. With averted vision, a
small handfull, maybe 8, of tiny pin-pricks pop out. A rather lovely cluster.
