Howards piece on M101 ends in a 'While You're Here' comment that discusses Ngc5474 which I hope to revisit this season of M101 since my prior visit to this curiously offset-core galaxy did not note much and I hope to revisit it again this season.

Something else that seems a good challenge to the WSW of M101 was Ugc8837. I wonder if anybody here has managed to observe this faint surface brightness object with a 20" or less in good skies?

Having before observed the brightest area of the Pegasus Dwarf, Ugc12613, I should think that an observation of Ugc8837 is within reach if I can believe the intensity as seen in MegaStar DSS overlays as being on the same scale. I will note that Pegasus Dwarf was a tough observation in my 18" scope but I had felt it was a solid observation but only of the brightest area of that dwarf.

Lastly, is Ugc12613 perhaps also a dwarf in our group?
