Comments:  A prominent member of the local group of galaxies.  About an average size for spiral galaxies with low surface brightness.  The first night was warm (low 40s) for this time of year and heavy, patchy fog developed during the night.  The second night was more "normal", in the low 20s and a bit breezy.
