A few nights ago I had a successful observation of the companion of Mrk 205. The seeing was rock steady and I was able to use super high power to see this small galaxy. The best view was with a 6mm ZAO with a 2X barlow @1464 X I also used A 4MM with barlow @ 2440 X.

Most of the time Mrk 205 had a tear drop look to it and in moments of good seeing the core of the companion would pop into view. I saw it as a separate galaxy about 8 or 9 times. The companion of Mrk 205 looked small and stellar when it would pop in to view. I was surprised that I was able to see it on my first attempt.

This is my raw sketch of the field that I did to verify my observation
