NGC1272 and NGC1275

I could just see NGC1275 looking straight to, but I couldn't resolve any details even if I used all the tricks I know. NGC 1272 was much more dimmer and I could see it a time to time using averted vision. This is quite a dim pair of galaxies in Perseus cluster of galaxies (for my scope in my backyard anyway). NGC 1272 is the western member in my sketch.
