Description:
I was fairly surprised at how easy this galaxy was to see. I had never checked
the magnitude, but I assumed it was pretty faint. As many times as I have stared
at M13, I always forget to look for it. Anyway, tonight I looked and it was really
a breeze to see, and actually see that it was slightly mottled/textured rather
than just a smooth haze. It is small but remarkably hard to miss if you know
where to look. Not a very interesting galaxy, but i saw it.
