Even with the shutdown, I hope somebody’s keeping an eye on the huge UFO that’s coming to transport us back to their planet.

What a neat galaxy. The night skies there must be spectacular.

In case you run out of ideas, I have a couple of suggestions, two of my favorites- NGC 457, the E.T. Cluster (also known as Owl Cluster),in Cassiopeia, and NGC 869 and NGC 884, the Double Cluster in Perseus. They are neat. The Double Cluster is visible in binoculars.

I just looked, APOD doesn’t have a submission for NGC 457…
