x 20 : a few stars visible on a granulous background, forming a small triangular group. The lucida stands at one of the summits. This bright star is double. The other stars are more or less aligned on the sides of the triangle, the interior contains no star, only the granulous gleemx 40 : a dozen stars are counted, around a slightly milky haze.This milky background is certainly imaginary because "Guide7" indicate only 5 stars as faint as Mv 13 to 15 inside the triangle. The faintest individual stars seen are of magnitude 11.
