It was only 16 degrees above the horizon so maybe that had something to do with it. Revisit with an OIII filter when I get one. Too small to estimate.

Observations: First object of the night and waiting for dark enough sky took forever. Interesting chain of 3 stars shows that I'm in the right field. Without the stop sign I'd miss it. The galaxy is just above a star to the right of the chain. The spiral is very dim and small, a bit longer than wide. It shows up better in the 20mm up, but is too small and dim to estimate the size,

GOTOs were off tonight in the north by a fob down and a fob left but were spot on in the east and west...strange. This galaxy was an easy star hop from M81 and M82 the next field over. A small and bright oblong patch about 1.5x long as wide. The center is moderately bright. Two doubles in the field. Dan Crowson also viewed the objects tonight as his camera clicked away on the parking lot. After squinting at all the small dim H400 galaxies tonight I think he'll stay an imager.

Observations: After a frustrating night chasing galaxies that were dimmer than the sky glow this guy was a pleasant change of pace. It looks like a big, bright, fat, out of focus star until you realize that all the rest of the stars in the field are sharp. No interior detail to be seen. Too small to estimate.
