    UGC 8877 wasn't difficult, though as expected it didn't show any structure at 375x and 610x.

    Faint, fairly large, low even surface brightness. This face-on barred spiral didn't display any structure due to an anemic surface brightness. A mag 10.8 star is 2' ENE. Picked up just 3' S of showpiece NGC 5383.
