Description:
120X-NGC5103 Galaxy in Canes Venatici appears as a tiny faint round spot,
diffuse, not quite star like. Easy enough with direct vision.

220X-NGC5103 appears as a small spindle shape of uniform brightness. Glare from
star GSC 3031:277, 7.6 Mag degrades contrast masking the galaxy's detail. Averted vision is no help at all.
