Galaxy ID needed (help)
While I was viewing M65 & M66 galaxies in LEO last night I noticed another galaxy just North of this group. When you imagine a line joining the three galaxies together they form a triangle, being all roughly the same distance appart. The galaxy in question seems quite wide and very narrow although slightly less bright than it's companions. The only star map I have is ASTRONOMY 2006 and it is not listed. This seems odd to me as it is very conspicuous when viewed at X50 through my 12 inch dob.
Q: What is this object (galaxy)?
Q: Why would Messier ignor it?
