Description:
Close group of several faint galaxies of which NGC 1129 (12,4mag, 2,9x2,1') and 
its companion M+7-7-3 (12,2mag, 0,3x0,2') are the easiest to observe. NGC 1130 
(15,1mag, 0,5x0,3') is visible with averted vision but surprisingly easy and 
looks like a tiny elongated oval. NGC 1131 (14,6mag, 0,4') and M+7-7-8 
(14,1mag, 1x0,6') are only very faint featureless smudges of light seen with 
averted vision. Other galaxies escaped my attention this time. Observation with 
342x magnification.
All galaxies are located within a field of 10'.
