Yep, M31 is my own test for night-adapted vision and good "seeing" conditions worth dragging out the telescope.

But, as Yoda said, "There is another..." (Hint: we see it "from the inside out"...) ;-)

But, you already knew what M81 was -- and where to look. Did the culture (or, even the language) of the (supposed) 'author' of Genesis even have the concept (or a word for) "galaxy"?

That, of course, is not criticism of Genesis -- but of those who claim that it is "all we need to know" about Creation and our Creator...

They need to watch this video...

The dipper was low in the sky and it was about 1 1/2 hours after sunset.
I suspect there was a certain kind of atmospheric lensing effect going on. Whatever. It was cool!
