Observations: There is a tilted lowercase y in the field. Put it at 3 o'clock and extend a line out the top and it points to NGC 5631 around 9. All things considered, it seems to be the brightest of the galaxies tonight. It is roundish, no real central core, but very distinct not needing averted vision to be seen. Hmmm, maybe I should have saved it for last! (one more to go... this was 399).
