On Saturday 6th of August among other objects I tried 2 galaxies arround M57. Near the Ring and among other star formations there is a triangle formation and very close to one of its edges there is a very faint galaxy probably called IC 1296. As long as I spotted it using averted vision, it was there 100% of the time steady. It looks to have very low surface brightness.
Looking the image of the DSS and going left there is an open circle line of 4 stars and a very faint 5th one. Next to it there is a galaxy, an extremely faint one. I got the fifth star with averted vision and firstly I thought it was the Galaxy, but no, it was the star alone. I tried at 450x to see the galaxy but nothing.
