Interesting, Any idea about the galaxy about 7' west? I pulled this up in
SkyMap Pro, but it didn't show anything where the little galaxy is. 

Hope everyone's having a good time at Hovatter Road, Wish I could join you.

     Ah, you mean the Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte galaxy!  You might point out to
viewers that the fainter star of the wide pair on the lower-left flank of
the galaxy (which is westward) is actually a sole globular cluster belonging
to the galaxy.  Looks as though there is a Marty Germano image at the SEDS
site:
