Description:
The tiny, faint spot of NGC 3414 appears instantly in the FoV, it has a stellar core with strong knots around its longer axis. I also suspect some brighter triangular areas around this axis. To my surprise, NGC 3418 is also visible in the eyepiece with direct vision, its NS-elongated body is very tiny and faint. The faintest star I see in this field is 15m.
