I only observed the two brightest members.

NGC2783A: Already visible at 80x with averted vision. Appeared roundish, quite well condensed, rather small.

NGC2783B: Appeared more as an almost stellar brightening, in few moments also elongated. Permanently seen with averted vision but pretty faint.

bei 72x blitzt indirekt ab und zu ein zarter Schimmer über einem helleren Stern auf - die Galaxie ist OW-ausgerichtet und zeigt genau auf zwei weitere helle Sterne im Westen - bei 111x wird es eher schwerer - mit viel Geduld und Field Sweeping liegt die Galaxie wie ein zarter Schimmer über dem Stern - der Stern wirkt leicht unscharf und es scheint, als ob der Stern einen Hof hat mit Verlängerungen nach Osten und Westen - bei 160x wirkt die Galaxie weiter kaum wie eine Spindel, sondern eher wie ein länglicher diffuser Fleck mit der größten Helligkeit genau nordnordwestlich über dem Stern
