Notes: Strong E winds drawing polluted air in from France/Germany. The dirty air is aggravating light pollution. Milky Way only just visible in the zenith. NGC 7753 is a vague, large oval without a core. The companion is compact. No chance of seeing any link between the two in these awful conditions. |
