hi ron garradd was visable around 8 mag some 41 min from 21 virginis it wasnt as bright and clear as a month ago but whilst viewing it for around 1 hour and the seeing improved i did notice a star visable through the fuzzy glow did you happen to notice it it is quiet a sight

On the 9th July Q3 Garradd and M104 were in the same FOV, awesome sight!

Q3 is still quite bright, mag 8.5 from obs tonight, dia= 8', DC= 5.

It's currently in a crowded field of galaxies, just be wary that you have the right fuzzy!
