NGC 777: A fairly bright Galaxy (sbr 13.2) Located in the heart of Triangulum. Round, pretty large, bright steller core, no other features seen. Two bright field stars interfered with viewing.
NGC 890: Faint galaxy, adverted vision shows a steller core.
NGC 925: A very faint, large galaxy (sbr 14.4?). This galaxy shows nothing but a mess :). It's not round, nor enlongated just pieces of nebulosity everywhere.
Collinder 21: Nice open cluster, it all fit inside the fov using 188x, it consist of 13 stars of about mag 8.2,... 11 of the stars form the letter "C" I suspected seeing some nebulosity around a brighter star, but there are no reflection or emission nebula listed in this area. Although SN 1983R was in the immediate area, being a mag 14, I doubt that was it, unless......naw!
NGC 672: From Cr 21, a slight nudge of the scope one fov to the west should bring in the galaxy ngc 672 on the north edge of the eyepiece fov. Very faint. Enlongated.
I closed the session by slewing the area around M33 looking for the emission nebula ngc 604, couldn't find it, this time.
