Description:
My first galaxy. It took several days of sweeping and referring to
star charts to find this. Appears as a faint, hazy patch estimated
about 8'-10' long. No details apparent. Very exciting to see something
this far away and this far back in time! One of the things that makes
astronomy so interesting to me.
