This is tough!

Stacking some sessions in the M33 region for other purposes, out of curiosity I checked if there was any trace of Pisces VII/Triangulum III in the image.

To my surprise, exactly at the expected position there is a source of a few pixels which undoubtedly is Pisces VII!

It is perhaps the first ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy to have been imaged with a telephoto lens.

 

The information and annotations in the image are of scientific utility because they identify the subject and place it in a specific moment. They also indicate the subject of interest. The absence of such information makes the images useless.
