M102 (ngc 5866)

Can't say that this is a very exciting image but it does have a certain amount of historical interest being one of the possible candidates for M102, a galaxy in Messier's catalogue that has never been unambiguously identified. It is also one of the few reasonable deep sky objects in Draco, apparently a remarkably boring constellation.

Cheers

Steve
