Messier Galaxy Update II

Yea verily. We are afflicted with a spate of dry northers. Life as we know it is barely hanging on. Good Goddess All Righty! The flora and fauna of these parts are dead, dormant or in hiding. Look to the heavens, Crumby. Look to the naked heavenly bodies. Yes. Espying those totally nude heavenly bodies, wreathed in pollution, shall keep you in tune with the WG.

Turns out, I am espying more galaxies than I thought possible from this humble yet miserable location. New ones espied are in bold, including two this morning, M61 and M63. Long I searched for those twain.

The galaxies are getting harder and harder to come by. Either they are invisible, really hard to find, or I find them and don't know which ones they are. Duh!

M31, M51, M58, M61, M63, M64, M65, M66, M77, M81, M83, M94, M95, M96, M99, M104
