Description:
Second attempt of summer, unfruitful. Once again, I have an impression of a form lengthened above a couple of stars forming a hook towards E, but without more. Although I am certain to see an extremely pale spot where the galaxy should be, this spot remains, still and always, too elusive with the binoculars to regard this real observation as good.
