Description:
M105 was readily apparent to averted vision as a dim "dot"
near a mag 7 star just S of 52 Leo. However in spite of a
concerted search in the same field with good charts, no hint
of M105's companions M95 and M96 could be seen: sky glow
in my backyard was just too much for these mighty spirals.
