I had to look this guy up. Seems there's a neat trio of galaxies 8
minutes NE that are all tidally interacting with each other and 2805. I
tried to read an article Google found but it wasn't public. Yet Google
had cached it, including the graphics. If interested, put on the hip
waders and go to:
http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:ygxuATePYMEJ:www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full/2005/20/aa2261-04/aa2261-04.right.html+ngc+2805&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us

I put it in brackets that should make it work without pasting together.
If not it might take a bit of pasting to get to work.

I think I should be able to get all of them in my much larger field of
view. So I'm going to bump this guy to the top of the list if weather
ever permits.

Nice one. 3.4" is about my typical seeing but I think the true RC
handles it better than the SCT version does.

Someone's getting good skies this dark of the moon. Please send it this
way. I'm under clouds, rain and snow through the weekend they say.

That's a really weird one. My list just got another addition. I wonder
what that guy collided with.
