On Friday evening, my brother Anthony & I observed ten galaxies & many more other objects. We observed Galaxies M31, M32, M51 & its companion, M81, M82 & M101 & also some NGC galaxies. The galaxies showed decently despite some smoke from the western wild fires. We also observed a slew of NGC & IC open clusters & some objects with nebula. It was quite a night of viewing.

Detected with difficulty in the 7x50s as a very faint, medium-sized patch that appeared fleetingly when I used steady averted vision. It was only about 30 degrees high in the sky at the time, which probably didn't help.
