| Description | This was my first observation of the evening, waiting for clouds to clear. Initial transparency was poor, exacerbated by a 75% moon, but conditions improved in the last half hour, so I'm rating overall transparency "fair". This is an intriguing dwarf galaxy, relatively nearby, so fairly large. |
