Description:
It was easy to find where M74 should be, but a little harder actually
noticing it in the eyepiece. I suggest using low-to-moderate power to
find it: I used x44. It appears as a faint glow amoungst faint field
stars, and there MIGHT have been an elongation N-S, but I'm not sure.
A challenge, but very rewarding.
