Description: A compact little (elliptical) galaxy,
showing no detail in this instrument at any rate. An
easy find because of it's position close to the line
between Iota and Theta Dra, and an interesting low-
power object because of it's proximity to NGC 5985,
a nice 45o-on spiral galaxy with a tight central hub.
