"Galaxies in Canes Venatici"

For this first day of summer, we have a great description of galaxies visible from Bigzmey's (Andrey's) dark site at Anza in the Southern California desert. Using some high power eyepieces he managed to zero in on numerous faint subjects invisible at lower powers. It seems to be the case that higher powers, and smaller exit pupils, greatly aid in discerning smaller (<1.0 arc minute) galaxies which are passed over at say, 40x or 50x which one might use to find a nebula or cluster before ramping up the power. This is therefore a trick of the experienced galaxy observer. In our case, we are fortunate to read and learn from Bigzmey's VROD winning report!
