I had another try tonight. The conditions were a little better than last night. Less humid. At 545x I could see the three faint stars next to NGC 101 which can be seen below it in the picture. Two of the three point towards the companion galaxy. I had a long, hard look and I may have seen it but I am not 100% sure. I had to stand in an awkward position between two steps on my ladder, one being too low and the other too high. O well, I guess this galaxy is beyond the reach of my telescope.


Clear skies, Wouter
