Description:
At more 7° NW of Mirach. I observed these galaxies under optimal conditions, near zenith. M31 is very wide, I estimated its length with more than 2°! M32 shows a very small hal whose center is stellar in apperance whereas M110 appears more stretched with a nucleus not distinguished from the remainder of the object. Always a beautiful sight with binoculars!
