Date: 9/5/2021 10:57 PM Local Time

Location: Deer Trail, CO

Seeing: Good

Transparency: Good

Instrument Used: 8x50 Binoculars

Notes/Description: I could almost see it naked eye but not. Use the petagon of Pisces and 3 brighter stars below to find starting upper stars. Found these starting stars and then the stars at the end and then the 2 stars in the middle. This was the hardest one of these I've done to find and track because of all the stars in this area of similar magnitudes.
