We are getting older but those threads never will, so I recover it. I tried examining NGC 891 on Saturday 6th of August. At 324x and 453x J022229.6+422059.0 (I use the names of my photo) was spotted as a faint glow and it was easy, making the triangle with the 13.3 mag star on the back left and the brighter one on the back right. The orientation in my eyepiece was the same as my picture so identifying the field was very easy. A1 and a2 were totally invisible. MAC 0222+4222 along with the three stars near it was totally invisible too even with averted vision.
