Triangulum Galaxy
From Scope F70076
Nov 5, 2008 The visibility seemed to be better than at previous nights, but I still saw only 4 stars in Cassiopeia, thus the visual magnitude limit likely still wasn't more than 3, later there also were some small slight clouds. The constellation Aries is near the constellation Andromeda. I moved from Hamal (Alpha Arietis) towards Mothallah (Alpha Trianguli). Some 1 degree in the direction from Mothallah to the inside of the Triangulum, there is a brighter star with a double star near it further in the same direction. I found these stars and thus verified that the star I looked at was Mothallah. Then I moved from Mothallah in the direction of Triangulum Galaxy, and almost 1 degree in that direction from Mothallah is a small isosceles triangle, which base is much wider than its legs. This isosceles triangle points to two brighter stars almost 1 degree from that triangle-- a bright star, near which is a less bright star. From there to the direction further away from the constellation Triabgulum there is a third star less than 1 degree from these two stars. I found these three stars. Further from that third star in the direction of Triabgulum Galaxy is a fourth brighter star. This forth star together with that first brightest star and one more brighter star further towards the Triangulum Galaxy, form an almost equilateral triangle with the lenghth of a side almost half degrees. I found that equilateral triangle. This equilateral triangle points to a small isosceles triangle some 1 degree from it, when moving further towards the Triangulum Galaxy. I found this small isosceles triangle. Now some 0.6 degrees from that small isosceles triangle in the direction away from the constellation Triangulum, is another brighter star. From that star in the direction in which we moved towards the Triangulum Galaxy, is a second brighter star, and in the same direction from the small isosceles triangle is the thurd brighter star. These three brighter stars together with the small isosceles triangle form an almost regular diamond shape, which you can wholly see in one field of view. I found that diamond.
