Description:
This galxy seemed faint and difficult to see, I was not certain that I had in
fact seen it until I was able to confirm it's position using Skymap and a
relevant DSS image, the chart I was using being a ten degree field seemed to
show the galaxy lying south of Mag 10 TYC 2743-1755-1 but in the eyepiece I
could only see something southwest and in between that star and Mag 12
TYC 2743-1185-1, Skymap and the DSS image confirmed that this was indeed the
position of the Galaxy so I had indeed seen it.
