Description:
IC 1296 is approximately 4' NW of M57. This 1.3' sized spiral galaxy was quite
faint even with 30 inches of aperture. I was unable to see it the next night 
using a 14.5" f/4.3 Starmaster. IC 1296 lies within a diamond of field stars
and is displayed rather nicely at http://www.highenergyastro.com/m57.html and
