Observations: There is a what I'll call a circlet of five stars about 2 o'clock and fairly bright HIP 59115, just below this galaxy. I see it more as a dim star from the bright central core. Seeing the data say that it is almost 5x long as wide, I'll say I can't see it. Really only the core. It was about 24 degrees above the horizon.

Observations: There is a stretched out X of stars above and to the left of this dim galaxy. The galaxy is stretched out, a bit longer than wide. At first glace I thought it was a star because of the brighter core, but further study shows a faint disc of nebulosity. While listed as dimmer (and it was lower) it was easier than NGC 4618.

It is a roundish patch with little detail. It has a star point like core, but it isn't too bright. Look up names of other two.

NGC 4365 is the biggest and brightest of the group and is at the end of a chain of stars that snakes towards the right of the field. It is fairly large compared to the rest of the galaxies tonight, a bit longer than wide. There is a central core, but doesn't stand out very well against the galaxy's background. Data says elliptical, I would have guessed spiral. The field might be worth a revisit on a darker night with better transparency and sky.

There is a double to the left and a line of three stars below. The galaxy and a star to the right at first look show as a double. When I examine the left star in the double there is a small patch of nebulosity. It is a very faint roundish blob. Since I see it as star like I'd say it has a small, bright core.

Observations: So I was done with what I wanted to do to catch up because of the bad weather for months. I figured that I was out in the blue sky dark of Mark Twain State Park so I said what the heck and sorted the remaining 145 galaxies in reverse order of magnitudes to get the really dim ones. This was first on the list. I'll do the rest of the mag 13 ones tonight and then knock off. This guy is in the same fob as M101. Look for a diagonal of 3 stars and then a short hook of three and this guy is on the end. It is small and dim, but can be made out fairly easily. I see it as a dim, fuzzy patch with a bit of a lighter center.

Observations: This galaxy is very near M101 (which didn't look too special tonight either). It is really dim. I can see something there, but it is difficult. Roundish? Definitely no central core to write home about. The skeeters are eating me up, time to move on.
